I'm getting confused about the word "agent". They just mean an AI model? I don't see any level of agency here, it doesn't seem to connect to any API or such thing.
I'm also a bit confused how this differs from current weather models? Do current weather model not have any machine learning in them at all?
Google does not refer to it as an agent. This is just bad reporting from the NYTimes.
Traditional weather models are fluid dynamics simulations that numerically solve the Navier-Stokes equations. This works but is so computationally expensive that it makes neural networks look cheap.

"Agent" is the hot new thing in AI, so you can expect all influencers/reporters/marketers will overuse that term for the foreseeable future.
