Moirai-1.0-R-Small
Model directorySalesforce/moirai-1.0-R-small14M params | Upstream checkpoint
Moirai-1.0-R-Small is the smallest dense checkpoint in Salesforce's original Moirai family, the first-generation universal forecasting line that also ships as Base and Large. At 14M parameters it is the most cost-efficient way to access the Moirai design, trading raw capacity for the lowest serving footprint in the dense 1.0-R lineup.
Architecturally it is a masked-encoder transformer with multi-patch projections, any-variate attention, and a mixture-distribution output head. The any-variate attention lets it reason over arbitrary numbers of target variables and dynamic covariates rather than being fixed to a single series, and the mixture output head produces probabilistic forecasts with calibrated quantiles instead of a bare point estimate. It is pretrained on the LOTSA corpus, the large open archive assembled for the Moirai work, which is what gives the checkpoint its broad zero-shot reach across domains.

Recommended For
- • Multivariate forecasting across heterogeneous domains
- • Workloads that benefit from probabilistic outputs and arbitrary variate counts
Strengths
- • Strong multivariate coverage across the Moirai family
- • Well-suited to covariates and correlated series
Limitations
- • Model cards for some newer Moirai variants are still sparse on exact checkpoint details
- • Heavier family choices can be more expensive than tiny single-purpose baselines
