We released our first public model: t0-alpha. t0-alpha is a foundation model for time-series forecasting. It can handle predictive variables, which is important to optimize the context for what you are predicting. It is Apache 2.0, so check it out! If you'd rather play with it https://t.co/uJeEBJFB4E

One big question from our customers: how do we get access to retail data. Well, we had an unusual idea: https://t.co/JUPLThBF6a! Help us acquire some retail demand data, and get swag in exchange 😁 We'll do our best to not go out of stock 🫡 #retail #forecasting

This is ofc also true for other modalities like time series. Current public benchmarks like #GiftEval, #FevBench answer the « is it smart question ». We have specific internal benchmarks for « is it good for holidays, for spikes, for Q4… ». You must measure if you’re making https://t.co/jqOEZGPAmB
