# ai-models-graphcast-gfs

`ai-models-graphcast-gfs` is an extension of the [ai-models-graphcast](https://github.com/ecmwf-lab/ai-models-graphcast) package, which itself is a plugin to run Google Deepmind's [GraphCast](https://github.com/deepmind/graphcast) with [ai-models](https://github.com/ecmwf-lab/ai-models).

GraphCast: Learning skillful medium-range global weather forecasting, arXiv preprint: 2212.12794, 2022. https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.12794

GraphCast was created by Remi Lam, Alvaro Sanchez-Gonzalez, Matthew Willson, Peter Wirnsberger, Meire Fortunato, Ferran Alet, Suman Ravuri, Timo Ewalds, Zach Eaton-Rosen, Weihua Hu, Alexander Merose, Stephan Hoyer, George Holland, Oriol Vinyals, Jacklynn Stott, Alexander Pritzel, Shakir Mohamed and Peter Battaglia.

## Installation

To install the package, run:

```bash
pip install ai-models-graphcast-gfs
```

This will install the package and most of its dependencies.

Then to install graphcast dependencies (and Jax on GPU):


### Graphcast and Jax

Graphcast depends on Jax, which needs special installation instructions for your specific hardware.

Please see the [installation guide](https://github.com/google/jax#installation) to follow the correct instructions.

We have prepared two `requirements.txt` you can use. A CPU and a GPU version:

For the preferred GPU usage:
```
pip install -r requirements-gpu.txt -f https://storage.googleapis.com/jax-releases/jax_cuda_releases.html
```

For the slower CPU usage:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
