Five Ways to Fine-Tune Chronos-2, the Time Series Foundation Model

Read the original on Towards Data Science →

In Part 1 of this series, we introduced Chronos-2, a time-series foundation model. We got our hands dirty by walking through a real case study and saw what Chronos-2 can do straight out of the box, with no training.

Toto 2.0: Time Series Forecasting Enters the Scaling Era

arXiv:2605. 20119v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We show that time series foundation models scale: a single training recipe produces reliable forecast-quality improvements from 4M to 2.

Foundations without Fundamentals: Zero-Shot Blind Spots in Time Series FMs

The paper introduces SimpleTimeBench, a diagnostic suite testing basic temporal primitives like monotonic trends, periodic signals, and leading indicator covariates. It finds that prominent multivariate Time Series Foundation Models (Chronos‑2, Moirai, and Toto) often produce suboptimal zero‑shot forecasts for these simple patterns, and that fine‑tuning can improve specific tasks while harming performance on other fundamentals. These failures persist in real‑world sensor forecasting, indicating that current TSFMs may lack the inductive biases needed to capture straightforward relationships, thereby limiting their practical reliability.
