Chronos

Time-series forecasting toolkit that ships calibrated uncertainty by default, not point estimates.

Role · Lead engineer

Overview

A forecasting library that ships well-calibrated intervals — not just point estimates — by default.

Problem

Most forecasting code emits point predictions; production systems need honest uncertainty to make decisions against.

Solution

A small set of well-tested probabilistic models with consistent APIs and calibration diagnostics built in.

Tech stack

  • Python
  • PyTorch
  • Probabilistic models
Engineering notes

What's shaping this build.

Design goals, philosophy, planned architecture, and where the project stands today. No fabricated benchmarks — only what's actually driving decisions.

Design goals
  • Calibrated intervals as a default output, not an optional flag.
  • Consistent APIs across model families.
  • Calibration diagnostics as first-class model outputs.
Philosophy

A point forecast without an interval is a decision waiting to go wrong.

Planned architecture

PyTorch-based probabilistic models behind a shared fit/predict/calibrate interface, with diagnostic reports produced on every fit.

Current stage

Model surveys and API design.
