Notes

Model card: 'introduced in [Timer] and enhanced by [Timer-XL]'; Timer-XL README says the HF model is its univariate pre-trained release. Disclosure set to partial_list because the card's 260B time points exceeds UTSD-12G (~0.87B train points) + LOTSA (~231B) listed in Timer-XL Table 9, and the card says 'mostly' public data. Timer-XL also pre-trains a separate domain-specific model on its own ERA5-Large (4920 stations), not the released checkpoint. In Timer-XL Table 13 Time-MoE's ECL cell is a dash with footnote 'Dataset for pre-training is not evaluated on corresponding models' -- third-party confirmation that Time-MoE saw ECL.
