Introducing Brightband.

Read the announcement

Brightband is making weather and climate predictable for all, to help humanity adapt to increasingly extreme weather.

Our mission

Responsibly providing advanced Earth System AI to improve weather and climate-related decisions for the long-term benefit of humanity and the Earth

Our approach

  • Target icon

    We are building an end-to-end AI Earth System for probabilistic forecasting.

  • Git Pull Request icon

    We will open source benchmark datasets, models, and metrics to establish a common task for global weather forecasting. We hope this will encourage the community to improve the state of the art.

  • Toolbox icon

    We will provide tools to academia, government, and companies for AI weather and climate forecasting.
