• Destination Earth (DestinE):  This is an experimental IFS model with finer resolution of  about 4.4km.  It is currently non-operational.
• Artificial Intelligence models:  These are trained on historical weather data, usually a subset of ECMWF’s ERA5 reanalysis dataset.  They rely on traditional NWP analyses as initial conditions when producing a forecast.  Resolution is about 25km.  Artificial Intelligence models currently available on Opencharts and ecCharts:   
  • ECMWF Artificial Intelligence/Integrated Forecasting System (AIFS).
  • Non-ECMWF AI models
    • FourCastNet
    • FuXi
    • GraphCast
    • Pingu-Weather

Changes and improvements are outlined in the latest IFS model upgrade Cy49r1 .

An informative videocast (from the Weather Pod) of a discussion on AIFS is available.
