Questions About timesfm-2.0-500m-pytorch

How much GPU memory does timesfm-2.0-500m-pytorch need?

About 1.2 GB at 16-bit and 0.3 GB at 4-bit: the weights (499M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run timesfm-2.0-500m-pytorch on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

MOMENT-1-large

Auton Lab

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. For details on MOMENT models, training data, and experimental results, please refer to the paper MOMENT: A Family of Open Time-series Foundation Models.
