September 2025 monthly summary for ecmwf/anemoi-core: Focused on configuration safety and maintainability for CRPS training. Removed the unsupported GNN configuration (gnn_ens.yaml) and related GNN settings since CRPS training no longer supports GNN configurations. This prevents incompatible configurations from being used, reducing runtime errors and support overhead. Commit: d5eecd2631bf4000f85cfe5fc8a54ea5506263f5. Repo impact: ecmwf/anemoi-core.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-08: Diffusion-based training capabilities were added to the ecmwf/anemoi-core repository, expanding model capabilities and training flexibility. The work enables diffusion architectures, samplers, and configurable training pipelines, supporting rapid experimentation and potential performance gains in diffusion regimes. Documentation updates enhance user guidance on diffusion model configuration, noise scheduling, inference defaults, and parameter overrides during inference, improving usability and onboarding.

In July 2025, addressed a critical correctness and scalability issue in ecmwf/anemoi-core by fixing uneven channel sharding in the all-to-all communication path for Anemoi models. The change corrects channel dimension calculations, refactors core sharding helpers, and strengthens safety checks to ensure valid sharding across GPUs, resulting in more stable multi-GPU training and better load balance.

June 2025 monthly summary: Implemented robust NaN-safe reductions for CRPS losses in ecmwf/anemoi-core, extending the reduction API to support 'avg' and 'sum' and refactoring KernelCRPS/AlmostFairKernelCRPS to use the new mechanism. Fixed NaN handling in training losses to prevent propagation (#358).
