# Chronos⚡️-Mini

Chronos⚡️ (read: Chronos-Bolt) is a family of pretrained time series forecasting models which can be used for zero-shot forecasting. Chronos⚡️ models are based on the [T5 architecture](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.10683) and are available in the following sizes.

## Usage

> [!WARNING]  
> Chronos⚡️ models will be available in the next stable release of AutoGluon, so the following instructions will only work once AutoGluon 1.2 has been released.


A minimal example showing how to perform zero-shot inference using Chronos⚡️ with AutoGluon:

```
pip install autogluon
```

```python
from autogluon.timeseries import TimeSeriesPredictor, TimeSeriesDataFrame

df = TimeSeriesDataFrame("https://autogluon.s3.amazonaws.com/datasets/timeseries/m4_hourly/train.csv")

predictor = TimeSeriesPredictor(prediction_length=48).fit(
    df,
    hyperparameters={
        "Chronos": {"model_path": "autogluon/chronos-bolt-mini"},
    },
)

predictions = predictor.predict(df)
```
