What Silurian does

Silurian is building foundation models for simulating Earth, starting with weather. From assessing the risk of wildfires to predicting the energy grid load, we provide an infrastructure layer for our planet. Our frontier models push the boundaries of what can be simulated on Earth and improve decision making across vital sectors including energy, insurance, agriculture, and logistics.
