About the Company

At Silurian, we’re building foundation models to simulate the Earth, starting with the weather. Our mission is to scale these models to their full potential and push them to the limits of physical predictability. Ultimately, we aim to model all infrastructure that is impacted by weather including the energy grid, agriculture, logistics, and defense. Hence: simulate the Earth.
