NVIDIA releases Kumo Forecast: pretrained MOMENT-1-large time‑series forecaster with retrieval and interpretability
Kumo Forecast (formerly NV-Tesseract Forecasting) is a multivariate time‑series forecasting library from NVIDIA that pairs a pretrained MOMENT-1-large Transformer encoder (≈340M-parameter base encoder) with a trainable forecasting head and an optional Domain-Aware Representation and Retrieval (DARR) pathway that retrieves historical patterns via nearest neighbors. The Apache-2.0–licensed Kumo-TS repo provides model code (NVIDIA/Kumo-TS), weights (nvidia/Kumo-Forecast), a DataFrame-first API, configurable horizons, an interpretability framework (lag/feature attributions, trajectory diagnostics, optional embedding Integrated Gradients), and examples for fine-tuning and retrieval-enhanced evaluation.
