OceanGym is the first comprehensive benchmark for underwater embodied agents, featuring eight realistic task domains and a unified agent framework powered by Multi‑modal Large Language Models (MLLMs). It challenges agents to process optical and sonar data, navigate complex environments, and achieve long‑horizon goals amid low visibility and dynamic currents. Experiments show significant performance gaps between current MLLM agents and human experts, underscoring the difficulty of perception, planning, and adaptability in ocean settings.

Neptune is an end‑to‑end data‑driven framework that emulates global ocean and sea‑ice states for subseasonal‑to‑seasonal (S2S) forecasting up to 60 days. It combines Convolutional Neural Networks and Spherical Fourier Neural Operators to capture both local features and global cross‑scale interactions, producing daily outputs for temperature, salinity, currents, sea‑surface height, and sea‑ice metrics at 1° and 0.25° resolution. Evaluated against metrics such as RMSE, CRPS, ACC, and climate indices (ENSO, IOD), Neptune reproduces the spatio‑temporal evolution of oceanic fields and remains stable over long timescales.
