Case Study: Jua achieves hourly global weather forecasting breakthroughs with Nebius AI Cloud

Jua delivers hourly weather forecasts at 6x higher resolution with Nebius

Jua, an AI company building a foundation model to simulate Earth's physics for weather forecasting, faced significant challenges with unreliable infrastructure from other AI cloud providers. Their long training runs were frequently disrupted by mid-run failures and inconsistent throughput, which was costly and hindered their research progress. This led them to seek a new provider, Nebius.

By moving to Nebius AI Cloud, Jua gained access to high-performance, ultra-stable clusters with high-speed InfiniBand. This reliable infrastructure allowed them to successfully train and refine their EPT-2 model. With Nebius, Jua now delivers state-of-the-art forecasts with hourly global updates and 6x higher resolution, which outperform leading AI and traditional models. This capability provides their energy sector clients with a significant competitive edge, estimated to have a profit and loss impact of $1.5 million per gigawatt annually.
