Silurian

Silurian is an Earth intelligence company that builds AI weather forecasting models and tailors them to a customer's own assets and infrastructure. Its stated aim is to solve hard weather problems for organizations whose operations depend on the weather, by combining foundation models with the customer's proprietary data and infrastructure feeds rather than shipping a generic forecast. It serves energy companies and government agencies. The offering has three parts: custom foundation models trained on a client's asset and infrastructure data, rapidly refreshing high resolution regional forecasts, and risk management analytics built on those predictions. Forecasts can be explored on earth.silurian.ai, an animated global map of Silurian's model output with overlays for wind, temperature, six hour precipitation and mean sea level pressure, and a separate weather service is hosted at earth.weather.silurian.ai. The founding team includes authors of Aurora, which the company describes as the first foundation model for the Earth system, and of ClimaX, an earlier foundation model for weather and climate. Pricing is not published. Engagements begin with a demonstration and a proof of concept deployment, and commercial terms are set per customer. Silurian presents itself as an enterprise vendor rather than a consumer forecast app. The public map is a showcase of model output, not a self service product with a price list.
