The rapid deployment of machine learning systems across cloud, edge, and enterprise environments has brought model optimization to the forefront of systems-engineering. Despite a rich literature spanning quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), and inference-time optimization, practitioners are often left navigating these techniques through heuristics rather than principled methodology.

arXiv:2608. 02641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural-language optimization problems into solver-ready formulations, but direct code generation is brittle: schema, indexing, and semantic errors can cause compilation failures, infeasible models, or incorrect objectives, while iterative repair, search, and multi-agent workflows increase inference cost.
Time series foundation models (TSFMs) have emerged as general-purpose models for time series analysis, but pretraining alone is often insufficient for reliable downstream deployment. Bridging this gap requires further intervention to handle domain shift, task heterogeneity, limited supervision, and computational constraints, which motivates post-training as a broad class of methods to adapt, augment, compose, calibrate, or specialize pretrained TSFMs for downstream tasks.
