Google DeepMind builds new AI model for predicting cyclones
The experimental AI model can also generate 50 different scenarios for the storm.
The research teams have also released a new paper with details of the core along with an archive on Weather Lab of historical cyclone track data, evaluation and backtesting.
Google also added that during internal testing they found that the model's predictions were as accurate and often more accurate than current physics-based methods, they have also partnered with the U.S. National Hurricance Center (NHC) to evaluate further how effective the model is.
The Weather Lab website also shows a comparison between how AI models perform and how the traditional models perform.
Google has also released other AI weather prediction models like GenCast which surpassed one of the physics-based models 97.2 percent of the time, as per a study published in Nature.

Google will launch its Pixel 10 series on August 20. The series will likely consist of models such as Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. With the launch days away, several reports have detailed possible hardware and software updates, including new AI-powered camera tools. Google has already revealed the Pixel 10's design, while leaks suggest changes in camera setups, colour options, and processing power. Here's a look at the expected specifications, design changes, and expected features. Google Pixel 10 series: Design, display and colours As per Android Headlines, the standard Pixel 10 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus 2. A notable improvement is said to come in display brightness, jumping to 2,000 nits in High Brightness Mode and 3,000 nits peak brightness. Both Pixel 10 Pro models will feature LTPO displays with 1-120Hz refresh rates and 3,000 nits peak brightness, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both front and back. One of the key products to debut on August 20 is the Pixel 10 Pro. It is expected to retain the same design as last year's model, while the Pixel 10 may see changes to its camera module. According to reports, the handset may feature a triple-camera setup. New colours such as Moonstone and Jade are expected for the Pixel 10 Pro, while Indigo may be introduced for the Pixel 10. Google Pixel 10 series: Processor and storage All models are expected to feature the new Tensor G5 chipset , built on a 3nm process by TSMC. The base Pixel 10 model may come with 12GB RAM, while Pro models could have 16GB RAM. Storage options are expected to remain at 128GB or 256GB, with no increase for the base model or higher tiers. Google Pixel 10 series: Camera upgrades The standard Pixel 10 is rumoured to get a triple-camera setup for the first time, with an 11MP telephoto lens and a 13MP ultra-wide lens, though the primary sensor may be smaller than the Pixel 9's. The camera setups on the "Pro" models remain largely unchanged from their predecessors. This includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP 5x telephoto lens. The front-facing camera is said to remain a 42-megapixel shooter. Both the ultrawide and telephoto lenses on the Pro models will gain macro capabilities this year, offering different focal distances for enhanced close-up shots.

Cost Of Privacy: These Popular Apps Track Users A Lot And You Should Know About It
Last Updated: Apps need your location and device access to run and give you the best results but some of them take too much liberty with it. Most apps that we use daily are notorious for their tracking nature, even though Google has changed the privacy rules. The biggest problem in this case is that popular apps are the main culprits and people find it hard to replace them, which works in the favour of the big companies. Data is the new oil, this phrase has been used for years and now you can see its value in the market as the giants continue to rack up the big money into their coffers. 5 Apps That Track Your Data The details of these apps have been mentioned in this report, and it includes platforms from other regions and some very popular names. Google Chrome Chrome browser is heavily used across mobile and desktop by billions. Google relies on its products to get data about its users in the guise of offering personalised experience and showing ads relevant to their viewing history. Many of us have gotten used to the convenience offered by Chrome which has all our web history and it has become hard for people to switch to other platforms without understanding the issues with using the browser that is continuously tracking your data. Amazon has used Alexa to listen to our conversations to give better responses. But recently the company decided to send all the data to its servers for training the AI systems, and not keep them locally stored. All this means your data in any form can be used to build AI tools and also for other personalised activities that most of you don't sign up for. The report makes an intriguing mention about Uber Eats that works in the West for food delivery. The platform needs location access which people tend to keep it enabled all the time and that makes it easy for the app to get all the purchase data and other details that it can track from the device. TikTok TikTok is banned in many countries and even its presence in the US has faced repeated questions. The platform is involved in data sharing business but never accepted the policies could affect its users. The app needs your device information, location and other access which makes it easy to see how you interact on the app and what content works for you. Most of the other platforms are heavily culprits so it is up to you how much and where you use them. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 16:36 IST News tech Cost Of Privacy: These Popular Apps Track Users A Lot And You Should Know About It Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

So, let's take a quick look at what could be served at the Made by Pixel event this officially confirmedBefore moving on to what's expected, here's a quick look at what Google has officially confirmed so far. The launch date is no longer a mystery, and we have already seen a glimpse of the new Pixel 10 series in Google's own teasers. The design scheme of the Pixel 10 phones (non-fold) looks mostly familiar, retaining the horizontal camera bar and rounded edges of the Pixel 9 series. The teaser also shows the phone finished in a blue-grey shade that matches the leaked 'Moonstone' colour. Google announced early launch offer Google has also announced an early launch offer. Customers who subscribe to Google Store marketing emails by 12:30 PM IST on August 19 will receive an exclusive offer for Pixel 10 purchases (except for the Pro Fold). More details will be revealed on August 21, when pre-orders begin. Notably, Google has also launched its official online store in India recently, meaning customers can now buy Pixel devices directly from the company with additional perks like store credits, flexible payment options, and official Pixel 10 series India price leakedAccording to a report from Smartprix, the Pixel 10 series will go up for pre-order in India on 21 August, just a day after the global reveal. Pricing is expected to remain identical to the Pixel 9 series. That means the Pixel 10 (256GB) could start at Rs 79,999, while the Pro Fold may retail at Rs 1,72,999. Bank discounts are likely, though details will be revealed Pixel 10 series leaked design and coloursAccording to a report from Android Headlines, the standard Pixel 10 will arrive in brighter, more playful shades including Obsidian (black), Indigo (purple-blue), Frost (pale blue), and Limoncello (bright green-yellow).The Pro models are said to take a subtler tone, likely featuring Obsidian, Porcelain (white), Jade (soft green), and Moonstone (blue-grey) finish. Interestingly, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is rumoured to ship only in Moonstone and Jade, skipping a black variant recent leaked renders shared by Evan Blass further confirm these rumored colour Pixel 10 series camera detailsThe biggest visual change this year is rumoured to be the triple rear camera setup across the board, which means the standard Pixel 10 is also expected to feature three cameras. According to Android Authority, the base Pixel 10 will likely get a 10.8-megapixel telephoto lens, joining a 48-megapixel main and 13-megapixel ultrawide while the triple-camera setup is new, the standard model may take a slight step back in image quality. Reports suggest it will use smaller sensors for its main and ultrawide cameras — similar to the Pixel 9a — to cut down on the costs, making it slightly less capable than the Pro models. The Pro and Pro XL are rumoured to keep their 50-megapixel main, 48-megapixel ultrawide, and 48-megapixel telephoto setup from last year, while the Pro Fold's cameras will largely match the Pixel 10's Pixel 10 series to feature Qi2 wireless chargingadvertisementAnother exciting upgrade rumoured is Qi2 magnetic wireless charging support. As per leaks from Evan Blass, the Pixel 10 is expected to include built-in magnets, similar to Apple's MagSafe, enabling it to work with magnetic chargers, wallets, and is also reportedly building its own accessory ecosystem under the Pixelsnap brand, which may include charging pucks, stands, and of Tensor G5Powering the Pixel 10 line-up is likely to be the Tensor G5. This time, Google is said to be working with TSMC, manufacturing the chip on a 3nm process - the same technology used for Apple's A18 Pro chip in the iPhone 16 Pro. According to Android Authority, this new chip could bring significant performance and efficiency improvements compared to last year's Tensor said, leaked benchmarks spotted by WCCFTech indicate the processing power of the new Tensor chip might still fall short of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite in raw Pixel 10 series to pack AI features and Android 16On the software side, the Pixel 10 will run Android 16 out of the box and debut new AI features. Some of these may include:Speak-to-Tweak – voice-powered photo edits like background changes or object – generate visuals from rough Coach – real-time photography advice via Gemini Sense – an upgraded on-device assistant that predicts your needs based on app data and course, most of these details are rumoured and should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, they do paint a picture of what Google could actually bring to the table. We just need to wait eight more days to finally see what the new Pixel 10 series looks like.- Ends
