Tiny Time Mixers

Summary

Tiny Time Mixers, or TTM, is IBM Granite’s compact pretrained forecasting model family built on TSMixer-style mixing blocks. It is notable because the released models are small, CPU-friendly, and still competitive in zero-shot and few-shot forecasting settings.

Role In The Wiki

TTM anchors the small-pretrained-model route for time-series foundation models: instead of relying on large attention-heavy backbones, it combines mixer-style architecture, adaptive patching, resolution-aware pretraining, and lightweight target adaptation.
