DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping meteorological scienc
 e across two distinct frontiers. On one end\, foundation-scale generative 
 models\, large-scale distributed training\, and massive ensembles push the
  limits of high-performance computing and big-data orchestration. On the o
 ther\, a "democratized edge" is emerging\, where lightweight\, heterogeneo
 us inference workflows broaden access for experimentation. This dual expan
 sion introduces a new class of software challenges spanning distributed tr
 aining\, ensemble-scale orchestration\, and efficient\, flexible inference
  pipelines.\n\nThis talk will introduce Earth2Studio and PhysicsNeMo from 
 NVIDIA\, two software packages designed to enable and scale AI weather for
 ecasting. By exploring their architectures\, we will discuss the broader d
 evelopment journey of building AI-driven meteorological tools and share ke
 y lessons learned in managing the intersection of high-performance computi
 ng\, data science and operational reliability.
