alt Hacker NewsI do not understand how time series can be forecast without training on data from a relevant domain. Like, would these be able to predict EEG/fMRI timeseries?

The promise is similar to LLMs, if you pretrain on sufficiently large timeseries datasets with sufficiently large variance/characteristics, that you will be able to transfer the model to a completely different use case that exhibits somewhat similar characteristics (in latent space). But it’s always good to check what kind of data the model was trained on, eg Chronos 2.0 training data is described in Appendix A Table 6 here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.15821
