I am in the power forecasting domain, where weather forecasts are one of the most important inputs. What I find surprising is that with all the papers and publications from google in the past years, there seems to be no way to get access to these forecasts! We've now evaluated numerous of the ai weather forecasting startups that are popping up everywhere and so far for all of them their claims fall flat on their face when you actually start comparing their quality in a production setting next to the HRES model from ECMWF.

GraphCast, Pangu-Weather from Huawei, FourCastNet and EC's own AIFS are available on the ECMWF chart website https://charts.ecmwf.int, click "Machine learning models" on the left tab. (Clicking anything makes the URL very long.)

Some of these forecasts are also downloadable as data, but I don't know whether GraphCast is. Alternatively, if forecasts have a big economic value to you, loading latest ERA5 and the model code, and running it yourself should be relatively trivial? (I'm no expert on this, but I think that is ECMWF's aim, to distribute some of the models and initial states as easily runnable.)
