Aurora

In a blog post yesterday (December 9), tech media outlet testingcatalog reported that Elon Musk's xAI has opened up an AI text-based graphical model called Aurora to X Platform Premium subscribers. Note: xAI is releasing a Grok 2 update in August 2024 that integrates the FLUX.1 model from Black Forest Labs, which lets users create detailed images by simply typing in text prompts. The model...

Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Musk's X has introduced a new AI image generation model, "Aurora," for its AI chatbot Grok, which is capable of generating more realistic images than Grok's other image-generation models and appears to have fewer limitations on what can be generated.

Microsoft released Aurora, the first large-scale atmospheric base model for weather prediction on Monday, which enables high-precision forecasts of weather and atmospheric changes. Aurora is a 1.3 billion parameter base model for high-resolution forecasts of weather and atmospheric processes. Aurora is a flexible 3D Swin Transformer with a 3D perceptron-based encoder and decoder. During pre-training, Aurora is optimized to minimize the loss of multiple heterogeneous datasets with different resolutions, variables, and pressure levels. Then it is divided into two…
