This is the best summary I could come up with:

Chipmaker Nvidia has shown off a clone of our entire planet that could help meteorologists simulate and visualize global weather patterns at an "unprecedented scale," according to a press release.

Customers can access the digital twin through an API, allowing "virtually any user to create AI-powered emulations to speed delivery of interactive, high-resolution simulations ranging from the global atmosphere and local cloud cover to typhoons and turbulence."

"Climate disasters are now normal — historic droughts, catastrophic hurricanes and generational floods appear in the news with alarming frequency," said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang in a statement.

For instance, the Central Weather Administration of Taiwan wants to use the platform to forecast the precise locations of where typhoons will make landfall.

Especially with the advent of generative AI tools, the tech world has become ravenous for Nvidia's graphics cards or GPUs, which not only power those models, but platforms like Earth-2 as well.

By turning its attention to climate change and the disastrous consequences of extreme weather, Nvidia is weaponizing its AI tech for a fight that's only bound to grow in the near future.
