YingLong 300M is the largest checkpoint in the YingLong family, offering the highest forecast quality at the cost of increased latency. The official paper frames it as the top-capacity YingLong release for zero-shot forecasting, the ceiling of the family rather than its cheapest tier.

The broader family continues to use direct quantile-style probabilistic outputs rather than a language-model-style decoder, and YingLong 300M keeps that non-causal transformer design: bidirectional attention over the input history feeding a multi-quantile output head, so calibrated prediction intervals come straight out of a single forward pass. The official model card states the released YingLong checkpoints were pre-trained on 78B time points, the same corpus that gives the family its zero-shot reach across domains.

On TSFM.ai reach for YingLong 300M when accuracy is the primary concern and the workload can absorb the higher latency that comes with the largest checkpoint. Step down to YingLong 110M when you want most of the quality at lower cost, to 50M for a balanced default, or to 6M when throughput and per-call latency dominate.

Model Classification

Family

YingLong

Type

time series foundation model

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

Training Data

Official model card states that the released YingLong checkpoints were pre-trained on 78B time points.

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
