foundation model

Google Research has published PyTorch weights for TimesFM 3.0, a 0.3-billion-parameter foundation model built for time-series forecasting. The model uses a Stacked Mixing Transformer architecture and is released under a non-commercial license.

OpenRouter has released Owl Alpha, a foundation model specifically designed for agentic workloads with native tool use support and a 1,048,756 token context window. The model is currently free for both input and output tokens and is compatible with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other productivity tools.
