What is chronos-bolt-mini?
Chronos-bolt-mini is a powerful time series forecasting model that belongs to the Chronos-Bolt family. Based on the efficient T5 architecture, this mini variant contains 21.2M parameters and has been trained on nearly 100 billion time series observations. The model represents a significant advancement in time series forecasting, offering zero-shot capabilities with remarkable efficiency improvements over its predecessors.
Implementation Details
The model utilizes an innovative approach by chunking historical time series data into patches of observations that are processed by the encoder. The decoder then generates quantile forecasts across multiple future steps using direct multi-step forecasting. This architecture enables the model to be up to 250 times faster and 20 times more memory-efficient compared to the original Chronos models.
