Google AI Releases TimesFM-3: A 330M Parameter Zero-Shot Foundation Model For Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

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.
