AI models need precise loop engineering to determine when tasks are complete, with strong verifiers at each step. Effective loops require a clear target state, an observable current state, and precise, local change methods. The challenge lies in creating loops that converge successfully while managing the cost and ensuring an external stop condition.

WeatherNext is an AI model that achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in predicting a cyclone's track, intensity, and wind structure. The model gives forecasters, on average, an extra day's worth of predictive accuracy compared to current methods. Google has open-sourced its WeatherNext 2 and WeatherNext Cyclones models to empower the research community and amplify AI's impact on building more resilient communities. The research has already had real-world impact - it predicted Hurricane Melissa's rapid intensification and landfall in Jamaica during the 2025 hurricane season, enabling advanced warnings to be issued and giving teams on the ground critical time to prepare.
