- Nvidia unveiled the models at the American Meteorological Society meeting in Houston on Jan. 26 and has made them open source.
- Management highlights insurance as a key commercial use case, enabling thousands of scenario runs for events like hurricanes and floods.
- Nvidia says the models can run up to 1,000 times faster once trained, a performance claim reported by Reuters and attributed to the company.
- Context for investors includes Nvidia’s continued AI-compute dominance, Wall Street’s FY26 revenue estimate near $213 billion, and industry projections of rising data-center capital spending that some expect could support far larger sales over time.
