Darts library unifies foundation models for zero-shot time series forecasting

A new collection of foundation models for time series forecasting has been developed within the Darts Python library. This initiative aims to unify the interfaces of various pre-trained models, including Chronos-2, TimesFM 2.5, TiRex, and PatchTST-FM, making them more interoperable and easier to integrate into existing forecasting pipelines. The Darts framework now offers standardized, full-cycle forecasting capabilities, enabling users to leverage these foundation models for zero-shot or fine-tuned forecasting, uncertainty estimation, and backtesting with minimal external dependencies.
