An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
Other Reported Results
These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on chronos-2-small
There is one job here, forecasting a numeric series, and it makes the hardware question nearly disappear. With 28M parameters, Chronos-2-small needs 0.1 GB at 16-bit. The cheapest setup on this page is one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour, so nobody should rent a card for this model alone. We would place it beside something larger and treat its memory as a rounding error.
Nothing in the license slows a deployment: Apache 2.0 permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, with an express patent grant, and asks that the notices travel with it and significant changes be stated. Two checks. No context length is listed, so settle the history window with the publisher's documentation. And the training relations name autogluon/chronos_datasets and Salesforce/GiftEvalPretrain; if your series overlap with either, your test numbers will flatter it. No evaluations are reported here, so run your own.
Questions
Which is larger, chronos-2-small or Toto-2.0-22m?
chronos-2-small (28M parameters) is larger than Toto-2.0-22m (22M parameters), by the parameter counts their publishers report.
Which is cheaper to run, chronos-2-small or Toto-2.0-22m?
At 4-bit, chronos-2-small fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour and Toto-2.0-22m on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.
