1. How Chronos Tokenizes Numerical Values into Language 2. Google TimesFM Patch-Level Attention 3. Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE) Benchmarks 4. Running Zero-Shot Forecasts in Python

Amazon's Chronos scales time-series values into quantized bins and treats forecasting as a next-token prediction problem over a T5 backbone. We compare its zero-shot generalization against fine-tuned XGBoost and LightGBM baselines.
