TimesFM#

TimesFM (Time Series Foundation Model) is a pretrained time-series foundation model developed by Google Research for time-series forecasting.

Updates#

• October 2, 2025: We changed the structure of the model to fuse QKV matrices into one for speed optimization. Please reinstall the latest version of the timesfm package to reflect these changes. Results should be unchanged.

pip install -e .

Code Example#

import numpy as np
import timesfm
model = timesfm.TimesFM_2p5_200M_torch.from_pretrained("google/timesfm-2.5-200m-pytorch", torch_compile=True)

model.compile(
    timesfm.ForecastConfig(
        max_context=1024,
        max_horizon=256,
        normalize_inputs=True,
        use_continuous_quantile_head=True,
        force_flip_invariance=True,
        infer_is_positive=True,
        fix_quantile_crossing=True,
    )
)
point_forecast, quantile_forecast = model.forecast(
    horizon=12,
    inputs=[
        np.linspace(0, 1, 100),
        np.sin(np.linspace(0, 20, 67)),
    ],  # Two dummy inputs
)
point_forecast.shape  # (2, 12)
quantile_forecast.shape  # (2, 12, 10): mean, then 10th to 90th quantiles.
