Researchers have explored utilizing the initial state in recurrent time series foundation models (TSFMs) as a conditioning interface, rather than leaving it unused by convention. A case study using the xLSTM-based TiRex model demonstrated that a learned spectral summary of the input window, injected into the initial state, improved accuracy. Further experiments showed that using the state as a per-dataset adaptation surface or as a channel for exogenous text information also yielded small but measurable improvements, sometimes surpassing full fine-tuning when combined with LoRA adapters.
