Audience
Data scientists, researchers, and developers wanting to forecast multiple related time series and incorporate historical and known future signals
About TimesFM-3
TimesFM-3 is a state-of-the-art time series foundation model designed for highly accurate multivariate forecasting in a single forward pass. The 330 million parameter model is pre-trained on a real-world and synthetic time-series corpus comprising more than 1 trillion time points, building on the efficiency and zero-shot generalization of earlier TimesFM models. It can jointly predict multiple coevolving time series and capture dependencies that improve accuracy without task-specific fine-tuning. The model supports multiple targets with point and quantile forecasts, past covariates that are known only historically, and past-future dynamic covariates such as planned promotions, holidays, or weather forecasts. TimesFM-3 uses a decoder-only transformer architecture, processes contiguous data in patches of 32 time steps, and applies alternating causal temporal attention and full variate attention to combine patterns across time and related series.

GPT-5.6 Terra
GPT-5.6 Terra is a balanced model in the GPT-5.6 series designed for everyday work, coding, agentic workflows, cybersecurity support, biology analysis, and enterprise automation. It sits between GPT-5.6 Sol, the flagship model, and GPT-5.6 Luna, the faster and lower-cost option. Terra is positioned to deliver competitive performance to GPT-5.5 while being significantly cheaper to run. The model supports improved reasoning, coding, tool coordination, long-horizon workflows, and legitimate defensive security work. It is part of a model family built with layered safeguards, including trained refusals, real-time misuse classifiers, account-level review, differentiated access, monitoring, and continued red-team testing. GPT-5.6 Terra helps developers, enterprises, and technical teams access strong AI capabilities with a more practical balance of intelligence, speed, and cost.

Nixtla
Nixtla is a platform for time-series forecasting and anomaly detection built around its flagship model TimeGPT, described as the first generative AI foundation model for time-series data. It was trained on over 100 billion data points spanning domains such as retail, energy, finance, IoT, healthcare, weather, web traffic, and more, allowing it to make accurate zero-shot predictions across a wide variety of use cases. With just a few lines of code (e.g., via their Python SDK), users can supply historical data and immediately generate forecasts or detect anomalies, even for irregular or sparse time series, and without needing to build or train models from scratch. TimeGPT supports advanced features like handling exogenous variables (e.g., events, prices), forecasting multiple time-series at once, custom loss functions, cross-validation, prediction intervals, and model fine-tuning on bespoke datasets.

Timestral
Timestral is a family of time-series foundation models and a Python inference package for generating multivariate probabilistic forecasts from historical sequences. The four model sizes (5M, 28M, 123M and 209M parameters) support past-only, known-future and categorical covariates, return quantile forecasts, and accept context windows up to 32,768 time steps. Developers can load pretrained weights from the Hugging Face Hub or from local files and run inference on CPU or GPU, then incorporate forecasts into monitoring, capacity-planning, energy, supply-chain, financial-risk, or maintenance workflows. Timestral supports zero-shot forecasting and can be adapted to domain data through Mistral Forge. The package is intended for data scientists, machine-learning engineers, and teams building forecasting systems; repository code is Apache 2.0, while model weights use a separate Modified MIT license.

Kimi K3
Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI’s most capable model, built for frontier intelligence scenarios such as software engineering, knowledge work, deep reasoning, and multimodal understanding. The model has 2.8 trillion parameters and uses Kimi Delta Attention, a hybrid linear attention mechanism, along with Attention Residuals for long-context performance. Kimi K3 supports a 1 million token context window, making it useful for analyzing large codebases, long documents, complex knowledge bases, and multi-step workflows. It includes native visual understanding for images and videos, with support for structured message formats, base64 image input, uploaded video files, and multimodal reasoning. Developers can use Kimi K3 through an OpenAI-compatible API with support for streaming, structured JSON output, partial mode, custom tools, dynamic tool loading, and automatic context caching.
