21M params | 2K context | $0.00025 per forecast

Chronos-Bolt Mini is a compact 21M parameter checkpoint in Amazon's Chronos-Bolt family. It sits between the Tiny and Small variants, offering a better accuracy-latency tradeoff for moderate-volume forecasting workloads. Uses the same direct multi-step quantile prediction as the rest of the Chronos-Bolt line.

Model Classification

Family

Chronos

Type

time series foundation model

Pretrained time-series model exposed on TSFM.ai for zero-shot or few-shot forecasting workloads.

Training Data

Nearly 100B time-series observations from large public corpora and synthetic pretraining data, as documented by the official Chronos-Bolt model cards.

Recommended For

  • Fast zero-shot probabilistic forecasting in production APIs
  • Teams replacing classic Chronos-T5 with lower latency inference

Strengths

  • Direct multi-step forecasting avoids autoregressive rollout cost
  • Strong default for quantile forecasts with lightweight serving

Limitations

  • Focused on forecasting rather than broader multi-task time-series work
  • Less natural fit when you need model behavior tuned around rich multivariate covariates
