## Model Card

PatchTST-FM-r2, a state-of-the-art zero-shot time series foundation model, represents a continuation of the well-recognized PatchTST model series, building on the original PatchTST and its zero-shot variant PatchTST-FM-r1. PatchTST-FM-r2 brings architectural enhancements as well as an expanded training base on top of its predecessor PatchTST-FM-r1. As of August 31, 2026 Granite-TimeSeries-PatchTST-FM-r2 is the top performing zero-shot model released under a permissive, commercial-friendly open-source license on the GIFT-Eval benchmark. Granite-TimeSeries-PatchTST-FM-r2 ranks #2 when considering all zero-shot, replicable models (see below for more details). The architectural changes in r2…

MOMENT is a family of foundation models for general-purpose time-series analysis. The models in this family (1) serve as a building block for diverse time-series analysis tasks (e.g., forecasting, classification, anomaly detection, and imputation, etc.), (2) are effective out-of-the-box, i.e., with no (or few) task-specific exemplars (enabling e.g., zero-shot forecasting, few-shot classification, etc.), and (3) are tunable using in-distribution and task-specific data to improve performance.

TimesFM (Time Series Foundation Model) is a pretrained time-series foundation model developed by Google Research for time-series forecasting. This is not an officially supported Google product. timesfm-2.0-500m is the second open model checkpoint: - It performs univariate time series forecasting for context lengths up to 2048 time points and any horizon lengths, with an optional frequency indicator. Note that it can go even beyond 2048 context even though it was trained with that as the maximum context. - It focuses on point forecasts. We experimentally offer 10 quantile heads but they have not been calibrated after pretraining. - It ideally requires the context to be contiguous (i.e. no…
