If its more energy efficient it is doing something different there is no guarantee that its more accurate long term. Weather is horrible difficult to predict and we are only just alright at it. If LLM are guessing at the same rate we are calculating but I am doubtful

Well that was a failed response opps. I am just cautious because while transformers get the random guessing right you can get the right answer statistically but fail on accuracy improvement long term. Clearly this model does better than the current model but extending it to be even better seems basically intractable besides throw more data at it but what if it derived the wrong model you simply cannot actually know
