Google Research has released TimesFM-3, a 330 million parameter time series foundation model that forecasts multiple related series in a single forward pass. Unlike every TimesFM checkpoint through 2.5, it is pretrained natively for multivariate forecasting, accepting multiple targets, past covariates, and past-future covariates with no task-specific fine-tuning. It takes the top average rank among pretrained foundation models on GIFT-Eval, fev-bench, and the TIME leaderboard. The weights, however, ship under a non-commercial, non-production license.
