chronos_bolt_tiny_9m_forecasting
TS Arena wrapper for Amazon Chronos BOLT-Tiny time series forecasting model.
Model Description
Chronos-Bolt is an optimized version of the Chronos family, designed for faster inference while maintaining accuracy. It uses an optimized T5 architecture with improved tokenization and reduced computational overhead.

Usage with TS Arena
import ts_arena
# Load model
model = ts_arena.load_model("chronos-bolt-tiny")
# Generate forecasts
import numpy as np
context = np.random.randn(96) # 96 timesteps of history
output = model.predict(context, prediction_length=24, num_samples=20)
# Access results
print(output.predictions.shape) # Point forecasts (median)
print(output.quantiles[0.5].shape) # Median forecast
print(output.quantiles[0.1].shape) # 10th percentile
print(output.quantiles[0.9].shape) # 90th percentile
Direct Usage with Chronos
from chronos import ChronosPipeline
import torch
pipeline = ChronosPipeline.from_pretrained(
"amazon/chronos-bolt-tiny",
device_map="cuda",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
context = torch.randn(1, 96) # (batch, time)
forecast = pipeline.predict(context, prediction_length=24, num_samples=20)
Evaluation Results
ETTh1 Dataset (context=96, horizon=96)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| MSE | 4.37 |
| MAE | 1.66 |
| RMSE | 2.09 |
Features
- Zero-shot forecasting: No training required
- Probabilistic forecasts: Returns samples and quantiles
- Variable horizons: Supports different prediction lengths
- Multivariate support: Processes each channel independently
Limitations
- Univariate model (multivariate handled channel-by-channel)
- No exogenous variable support
- Recommended max prediction length: 64
