NASA and IBM are presently brainstorming what they want their foundation AI model to be. Compared to the existing models in the market, the collaboration seeks to create a foundation AI model that has expanded accessibility, faster inference times and greater diversity of data. They also want to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting along with predicting meteorological phenomena, inferring high-res information based on low-res data and “identifying conditions conducive to everything from airplane turbulence to wildfires.”
