YingLong 6M
Model directoryqcw2333/YingLong_6m6M params | CC-BY-4.0 | Upstream checkpoint
YingLong 6M is the smallest checkpoint in the YingLong family, built for efficient zero-shot probabilistic forecasting. The official card and released code position it as a lightweight YingLong checkpoint, and at 6M parameters it is the most latency-friendly YingLong option in the catalog — the entry point to the family for anyone who wants foundation-model forecasting at the lowest possible serving footprint.
Architecturally it is a non-causal transformer forecaster: rather than the autoregressive decoder used by language-model-style forecasters, it relies on bidirectional attention over the input history and a multi-quantile output head, so a single forward pass emits calibrated quantiles instead of a sampled point trajectory. Like the rest of the released YingLong checkpoints, the official model card states it was pre-trained on 78B time points, which is what gives the family its broad zero-shot reach.

Recommended For
- • Dense probabilistic forecasting with fine-grained quantile coverage
- • Workloads that need richer distribution coverage than standard low-count quantile sets
Strengths
- • Quantile-focused output head provides unusually dense probabilistic coverage
- • Clear parameter-size ladder from 6M to 300M for cost-accuracy tradeoffs
Limitations
- • Newer family with less public benchmark coverage than the most established TSFMs
- • Dense quantile output increases per-token cost compared to point-forecast-only models
