Green-NAS (Edge-native weather forecasting)

Problem

Many forecasting models are designed assuming abundant compute, but practical deployments (especially in low-resource settings) must operate under constraints like limited memory, low power, and latency requirements.

Approach

Green-NAS frames architecture search as a multi-objective optimization problem:

• maintain strong predictive performance
• aggressively control model size and efficiency targets aligned with “Green AI” principles

Key result (high-level)

The best discovered model achieves competitive forecasting accuracy while using orders of magnitude fewer parameters than large, globally deployed systems—making deployment feasible on constrained hardware.
