AI weather models have made rapid progress in forecast quality, but the next challenge is turning better forecasts into better decisions. Aurora 1.5 extends the Aurora foundation model with 22 new variables, hourly resolution, and probabilistic forecasting — making it more practical for real-world use across areas that include energy, agriculture, transport, and climate resilience. Just as important, it remains open: a platform for the global community to evaluate, extend, and build on as AI weather models move closer to broader Earth-system applications. https://msft.it/6044vInG2
