ML is used in weather prediction since the 80s and is the backbone of it since almost a decade.
Not sure what are LLMs supposed to do there.

I relocated to Australia last year. This country is obsessed with the BoM and I don't know why. The few times I've used it, it was either outright wrong, or I couldn't even find the weather info I wanted (like, is it going to rain tomorrow), and they only added TLS in 2025!
LLMs in general are ML based, need a lot of data and compute. The same infrastructure as any other ML based system.
The AI/AGI hype in my opinion could be better renamed to ml with data and compute 'hype' (i don't like the word hype as it doesn't fit very well)
No one is suggesting using LLMs for weather. DeepMind is making significant progress on weather prediction with new AI models.
