Timer-M1: A Multivariate Time Series Foundation Model via Learning Primitives

Timer‑M1 is a pretrained multivariate time‑series foundation model that learns with primitives for zero‑shot forecasting. It uses a primitive‑based data synthesis and pretraining pipeline to generate series with shared temporal and relational patterns, assembling them into multivariate samples with distinct channel roles. The model employs gated two‑dimensional Transformer blocks that dynamically allocate cross‑variate attention, achieving top performance on several large‑scale forecasting benchmarks.

AdaMamba: Adaptive Frequency-Gated Mamba for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

AdaMamba introduces an adaptive frequency-gated Mamba architecture for long‑term time series forecasting. The model integrates an interaction learning module that captures cross‑variable dependencies and multi‑scale context, and an adaptive frequency‑gated state space module that generates context‑dependent frequency bases and unifies temporal forgetting into a single time‑frequency gate. Experiments on seven public benchmarks and four domain‑specific datasets show that AdaMamba consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines while remaining computationally efficient.

HART: Hybrid Attention-RWKV Time series Foundation Model

The paper introduces HART, a Hybrid Attention-RWKV Time-series Foundation Model that alternates attention and RWKV blocks to improve long-horizon forecasting. It identifies a problem in RWKV-7 called Placeholder Idling Decay, where repeated state transitions degrade historical information during non-autoregressive multi-step forecasting. Experiments on GIFT-Eval and TIME-Benchmark show that HART outperforms pure RWKV on medium and long horizons while matching short-horizon performance, and achieves comparable long-horizon MASE to a much larger Transformer with only 36 M parameters.

WorldAgen: Unified State-Action Prediction with Test-Time World Model Training

WorldAgen is a unified framework that jointly learns world modeling and action prediction using a shared Transformer backbone with two specialized heads. It introduces a Mixed Unidirectional Attention Mask to separate the world model and agent model, and enables Test-Time Training (TTT) by sampling exploratory actions and updating the world model with real state transitions. Experiments on CALVIN and LIBERO show that WorldAgen matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods, especially when TTT is applied to a few samples.

Recirculation

The paper introduces recirculation, an inference‑time architectural enhancement for foundation models that reduces perplexity and improves accuracy on generation and reasoning tasks without adding significant latency. Recirculation adds a specific form of recurrence, enabling the model to function as a dynamical system that tracks belief states, and is distinct from chain‑of‑thought or depth‑recurrence methods. An adaptive variant requires minimal hyperparameter tuning and achieves notable gains on the Gemma3 family, including a 23% perplexity drop and a 21% accuracy increase on GSM8k.
