No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
High-resolution probabilistic weather forecasting remains computationally demanding. Here we present Astra, a 0.25$^\circ$ ensemble model trained on eight H200 GPUs. It combines Kantorovich Attention, a two-sided transport attention in which each region chooses where it reads from and writes to, so every region sends and receives at token resolution, with a self-featurised continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) that also scores forecasts in the model's multiscale features. In WeatherBench 2, Astra matches GenCast's CRPS averaged over five upper-air targets and days 1-10 with 9.8% of its hardware-normalised training compute. Verified against ERA5, its CRPS and ensemble-mean root-mean-square error are lower than the ECMWF ensemble's on all 600 variable, level and lead-time combinations, and its CRPS is lower than GenCast's on 73.5% of them. A 15-day member needs 39 times fewer floating-point operations than GenCast's GPU implementation, and 50 members take under 40 min on one consumer GPU, within 21 GB.
