TimesFM 3.0 is the latest version of Google Research's TimesFM (Time Series Foundation Model) family for time-series forecasting. Released in August 2026, it adds native multivariate forecasting and flexible covariate support (past-only and past-and-future), alongside univariate forecasting, without per-task tuning. Creator coverage describes it as a roughly 330M-parameter model pre-trained on over a trillion time points.\n\nThe README reports rank #1 overall on fev-bench (100 tasks) and the TIME benchmark (50 datasets, 98 tasks), and rank #1 among foundation models on GIFT-Eval. These are vendor-reported results. Earlier versions (1.0 to 2.5) remain available, with 2.5 using 200M parameters and up to 16k context.\n\nThe code is Apache-2.0, but TimesFM 3.0 weights are under a separate non-commercial license that restricts them to non-commercial, non-production use. Commercial and production use is permitted through authorized Google Cloud services such as BigQuery ML, which is also integrated with Google Sheets, and via Vertex Model Garden. The open version is not an officially supported Google product.
