Foundation Models Unlock Time Series Scaling
Toto 2.0 foundation models demonstrate remarkable scaling, achieving state-of-the-art forecasting performance across multiple benchmarks with a unified training approach.

Visual TL;DR
From the article 4 mentionsThe promise of foundation models has largely been confined to NLP and vision, leaving the critical domain of time series forecasting in a fragmented state.
new foundation models demonstrate remarkable scalability for time series
From the article 3 mentionsThe five Toto 2.0 forecasting models released under Apache 2.0 are a testament to this unified approach, setting new benchmarks in forecast quality.
single training approach effective across millions to billions of parameters
From the articleThe five Toto 2.0 forecasting models released under Apache 2.0 are a testament to this unified approach, setting new benchmarks in forecast quality.
forecast quality improves reliably with increased model parameter size
From the articleThis work demonstrates that time series models, much like their counterparts in other domains, exhibit remarkable scalability, with a single training recipe yielding consistent forecast quality gains from millions to billions of parameters.
codified insights into a usable and accessible framework for researchers
From the articleThe researchers behind Toto 2.0 have codified this insight into a practical framework.
achieving new benchmarks across multiple forecasting benchmarks
From the articleThe Toto 2.0 forecasting models have established new state-of-the-art results on three distinct forecasting benchmarks: BOOM (observability), GIFT-Eval (general-purpose), and the contamination-resistant TIME benchmark.
