At the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference Meteorology Special Session yesterday (July 26), the world's first space weather chain artificial intelligence forecast model "Fengyu" was officially released.
In order to respond to the impact of solar storms on global satellite operations, radio communications, satellite navigation positioning and other key infrastructure, "Fengyu" has broken through the technical bottlenecks of traditional numerical models in computing power consumption and real-time response to meet the needs of space weather protection, and has become the world's first space weather artificial intelligence forecasting model covering the entire chain of solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere.
Wang Jinsong, Director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center (National Space Weather Monitoring and Early Warning Center): This model has three characteristics:
It is composed of large models from different regions, and is a basic large model that can be plugged in and integrated. So we call it a chained AI forecast model, which is composed of AI models from different regions such as the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, etc., and can be updated and plugged in according to future needs.
For the first time in the world, the coupling of artificial intelligence models across scales and circles in different regions has been achieved.
The big model is completely based on the domestic artificial intelligence platform, so it also contributes a lot to the construction of our future domestic AI ecosystem.
