# Google DeepMind launches WeatherNext 3 with measured atmospheric data

The new model accesses real-time observations instead of relying on estimated parameters for weather prediction.

Google DeepMind launched WeatherNext 3, an artificial intelligence model for weather prediction, on September 3.[^3]

Ferran Alet Puig, a researcher at Google DeepMind, stated that traditional weather forecasting involved estimating the present and simulating future physics with estimated parameters.[^5]

Álvaro Sánchez González, a colleague of Ferran Alet Puig at Google DeepMind, noted that WeatherNext 3 allows the model to access measured atmospheric data rather than estimated data.[^4]

Pine Nguyen, a Vietnamese Gen Z engineer, leads a team of engineers tasked with training and adjusting the Gemini AI model at Google DeepMind.[^1]

Nguyen joined Google DeepMind as part of a group of over 10 employees transferred from the startup Mechanize in 2026.[^2]

Google has released its newest frontier AI model, Gemini 4 Argon, but it is not available as a public chatbot.[^6]
