    Frontier supercomputer runs largest universe simulation yet

    The world’s second-fastest supercomputer, Frontier, just simulated the observable universe at an unprecedented scale using 9,000 AMD-powered nodes. By calculating dark matter and gas dynamics rather than simple gravity, the 1.4-exaFLOP system completed hydrodynamic modeling roughly 300 times faster than expected. Why it matters: Exascale computing is smashing scientific simulation ceilings, setting up massive compute gains for future AI and climate models.

    IBM and NASA open-source a climate foundation model

    IBM and NASA just released Prithvi WxC, an open-source weather and climate foundation model trained on 40 years of NASA earth observation data. Available on Hugging Face, it can downscale climate data up to 12x resolution and model complex atmospheric gravity waves. Why it matters: it moves weather AI past narrow forecast tools into a flexible backbone for global climate science.
