Sundial: Generative Time-Series Foundation Models

Sundial is a family of generative time-series foundation models introduced by Yong Liu and colleagues at Tsinghua University (ICML 2025). Pre-trained on large and diverse time-series corpora, Sundial employs a decomposition-based architecture paired with a generative forecasting head to produce probabilistic multi-horizon forecasts. It represents a shift toward general-purpose, zero-shot-capable models for real-world temporal prediction tasks.
