Foundation models outperform traditional ML in energy time series forecasting

A new benchmark called FETS has been introduced to evaluate foundation models in energy time series forecasting. The benchmark includes an analysis of 54 datasets across various categories. Results show that foundation models consistently outperform traditional machine learning methods, especially when informed by covariates, even when traditional models have access to more historical data.
