But 40 kilometers, yeah, you can kind of talk about huge weather systems. matched

But we're not talking, you know, looking at your app on your phone and seeing what's happening right where you live. matched

That wouldn't be possible with 40 kilometer resolution. matched

So, you know, the write up does caution and the authors do as well that, you know, models of this complexity are not going to be carried by local weather stations. matched

It's just too, you know, it requires too much computational power. matched

And they worry, of course, that big tech is going to use that type of computational power like these GH200s are going to be used for generative AI 100%. matched

And then all of the supercomputing time is being taken for that. matched

But maybe, you know, you've got to show that something's possible before it becomes faster, cheaper, better. matched

And this is showing that it is possible. matched

Oh, right, because even if – Will it get more precise or will it be different? matched

Yeah, yeah. matched

Like even if your local weather station can't afford to do this, obviously the researchers doing this are going to give this data to like the UN and to all of these groups that are – matched

sort of responsible for modeling what's happening. matched

But yeah, this idea of a digital twin, it's, I don't know, when I first read about it, I couldn't help but see the parallel between our fields, right? matched

Where there's constant modeling of brains or of other biological processes. matched

And we're trying to get better and better at that. matched

That in some ways the climate is, I don't know, there is a parallel there because it's stochastic and it's complicated. matched

And there's so many variables that have to be fed into it. matched

Yeah. matched

You know. matched
