🔬“We have foundation models for language, not for physics” — Anima Anandkumar, Bren Professor of Computing

Caltech's Anima Anandkumar developed FourCastNet, an AI-based weather model competitive with physics simulations, enabling accurate short-term forecasts on consumer GPUs. Her work pioneers Neural Operators, combining data and physical laws to model complex, multi-scale physical systems beyond language models' reach.
