ECMWF is now running version 2 of its Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS). The AIFS consists of a deterministic model, AIFS Single, and an ensemble model, AIFS ENS.
The deterministic model has been running operationally since 25 February 2025 and was upgraded from AIFS Single v1.1 to AIFS Single v2 on 12 May 2026. Further details can be found on the dedicated Implementation of AIFS Single v1 page.

ECMWF has adopted an open data policy, with the objective of expanding free and equitable access to high‑quality numerical weather prediction data for the global meteorological community. This shift supports the socio‑economic benefits of weather and climate information and aligns with WMO policies on international data exchange and capacity development for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs).
