Nauti's Take
Weather forecasting is one of the fields where AI measurably beats classical simulation, and pushing WeatherNext 3 straight into Search, Maps and Gemini brings that progress to a very large audience. The open question is how such models handle extreme weather, which is exactly when it counts.
A clear win for everyday use, not yet a replacement for disaster response.
