The Cisco Time Series Model 1.0 is Cisco's 250M-parameter univariate zero-shot forecaster and the GA release of the family. It is built for the same observability-style workloads as the preview but is positioned as the production default: smaller and more efficient, with denser probabilistic coverage.

Architecturally it is a multiresolution decoder-only transformer with 25 transformer layers and 15 quantile outputs. Unlike the preview, which was initialized from TimesFM weights, the GA checkpoint is trained from scratch on observability-domain data; the official card attributes the core corpus to Splunk Observability Cloud metrics with additional public time-series sources, and the model is released under Apache-2.0.

On TSFM.ai reach for the 1.0 GA as the default Cisco choice for infrastructure monitoring and network telemetry forecasting, where its multiresolution context and 15-quantile output suit observability series well. Step up to the 500M Cisco Time Series Model 1.0 Preview only if a workload specifically rewards the larger, deeper checkpoint and you can accept that its preview behavior and API surface may still change.

Model Classification

Family

Cisco TSM

Type

time series foundation model

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

Training Data

Trained from scratch on observability-domain data; the official card attributes the core corpus to Splunk Observability Cloud metrics with additional public time-series sources.

Recommended For

  • Infrastructure monitoring and network telemetry forecasting
  • Observability workloads where multiresolution context improves accuracy

Strengths

  • Built on 300B+ observability data points from Cisco/Splunk production infrastructure
  • Multiresolution architecture captures both fine-grained and coarse-grained patterns

Limitations

  • Domain-specific training may limit generalization to non-infrastructure series
