As deep learning for physical systems continues to grow in popularity, efforts to improve generalizability have primarily focused on designing architectures that embed physical constraints. However, for machine-learning surrogate climate models (emulators), we show that the low structural diversity in existing scenarios commonly used to generate training data places a ceiling on predictive skill.

Code models strictly prioritize functional correctness, leaving software energy efficiency as an unoptimized byproduct. Training models to generate energy-efficient code requires reproducible feedback at scale, which physical hardware measurement cannot reliably provide due to variance.
