These digital twins aim to simulate climate, oceans, atmosphere, wind speed, temperature, etc., regionally or globally. They apply physics, mathematics, software engineering, and high-performance computing to simulate the world. Both digital twins I mentioned use EuroHPC resources like CSC LUMI, BSC MareNostrum5, CINECA Leonardo, and soon others (and we also use other smaller HPCs).
Now there are some ongoing work about integrating AI/ML, LLM, etc.. I find it a better approach than building for LLM/AI-first, as it integrates existing components, and allows for AI to be used too. I think this could possibly be integrated as a component in a solution like this described in the article, as a component.
(There are other digital twins, for heart, human body, cities, urban climate, rivers, biodiversity, etc.)
