  TimesFM TimesFM, a pretrained time-series foundation model by Google Research, aids in time-series forecasting. The accompanying repository offers code to load public checkpoints and run inference. Its first open model, timesfm-1.0-200m, focuses on univariate forecasting, offering point forecasts up to 512 timepoints with fixed parameters. Installation instructions and usage details are provided, including forecasting from array inputs or pandas dataframes with frequency indicators. While default frequencies are suggested, they can be customized for specific needs.
