TimesFM 2.5 (Transformers)

TimesFM (Time Series Foundation Model) is a pretrained decoder-only model for time-series forecasting. This repository contains the Transformers port of the official TimesFM 2.5 PyTorch release.

Resources and Technical Documentation: * Original model: google/timesfm-2.5-200m-pytorch * Paper: A decoder-only foundation model for time-series forecasting * Transformers docs: TimesFM 2.5

Model description

This model is converted from the official TimesFM 2.5 PyTorch checkpoint and integrated into transformers as TimesFm2_5ModelForPrediction.

The converted checkpoint preserves the original architecture and forecasting behavior, including: * patch-based inputs for time-series contexts * decoder-only self-attention stack * point and quantile forecasts

Usage (Transformers)

import torch
from transformers import TimesFm2_5ModelForPrediction

model = TimesFm2_5ModelForPrediction.from_pretrained("google/timesfm-2.5-200m-transformers")
model = model.to(torch.float32).eval()

past_values = [
    torch.linspace(0, 1, 100),
    torch.sin(torch.linspace(0, 20, 67)),
]

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(past_values=past_values, forecast_context_len=1024)

print(outputs.mean_predictions.shape)
print(outputs.full_predictions.shape)

Conversion details

This checkpoint was produced with: * script: src/transformers/models/timesfm_2p5/convert_timesfm_2p5_original_to_hf.py * source checkpoint: google/timesfm-2.5-200m-pytorch * conversion date (UTC): 2026-02-20

Update Feb 14, 2025: Chronos-Bolt models are now available on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart! Check out the tutorial notebook to learn how to deploy Chronos endpoints for production use in a few lines of code. Chronos-Bolt is a family of pretrained time series forecasting models which can be used for zero-shot forecasting. It is based on the T5 encoder-decoder architecture and has been trained on nearly 100 billion time series observations. It chunks the historical time series context into patches of multiple observations, which are then input into the encoder. The decoder then uses these representations to directly generate quantile forecasts across multiple future steps—a method known as…

PatchTST was originally released prior to the interest in creating pre-trained, zero-shot time series foundation models that were capable of state-of-the-art performance on out of sample datasets. PatchTST-FM (patched time-series transformer-based foundation model) essentially has the architectural simplicity of PatchTST, but differs in some crucial ways. Coupled with a revised training strategy and a significantly larger training corpus, we are able to train a model that achieves state-of-the-art results on GiftEval (see below for recommended filters to view this on the leaderboard). The architecture incorporates the following changes: - residual blocks in the input and output projections…
