Existing ML-based atmospheric models are not suitable for climate prediction, which requires long-term stability and physical consistency. We present ACE (AI2 Climate Emulator), a 200M-parameter, autoregressive machine learning emulator of an existing comprehensive 100-km resolution global atmospheric model. The formulation of ACE allows evaluation of physical laws such as the conservation of mass and moisture. The emulator is stable for 100 years, nearly conserves column moisture without explicit constraints and faithfully reproduces the reference model's climate, outperforming a challenging baseline on over 90% of tracked variables. ACE requires nearly 100x less wall clock time and is 100x more energy efficient than the reference model using typically available resources. Without fine-tuning, ACE can stably generalize to a previously unseen historical sea surface temperature dataset.

Spatial Generalization Tests for Machine Learning-based Weather Models to Assess Physical Consistency
Rotating or reversing the simulated planet reveals that GraphCast and NeuralGCM encode present-day geography rather than spatially invariant physics, while a traditional GCM passes the same tests to numerical precision.

Hard conservation correctors can hide a degrading model when training autoregressive emulators
Supervising only the corrected output of a hard water-budget corrector hides raw-precipitation amplitude drift, letting the required correction grow from 2% to 24% while delivered fields stay exactly conservative.

On the Genealogy of Machine Learning Weather Prediction
ML weather prediction inherited NWP’s IVP framing, so model choice should explicitly align with either physical system structure or data statistical structure rather than defaulting to learned time-steppers.
