Thanks :)
1. Only for the first version, not for this version. I am sorry! 2. Yeah ours is guaranteed ok, as we wrote code to generate it basically just from plain torch ops. The code to run inference is available, just not the training code and data generation. 3. We have put it to work on time series data, which is very business relevant for example https://github.com/liam-sbhoo/tabpfn-time-series, and we have a table in the Appendix with all datasets we evaluate on in our main analysis to give you some ideas for possible datasets.
To draw a parallel to NLP: previously people trained a neural network for each kind of text classification they wanted to do, but then LLMs came around that pre-trained to learn to perform new tasks on the fly. Similarly, TabPFN learns to do new tasks on the fly just from the context (dataset) given.
Training and prediction in these models is by default one and the same, similar to how the prediction of the next token in an LLM is not split into learning from context and then doing the actual prediction. There is a way to split this even up, though, then the predictions, I believe, take something like 1/10s for medium-sized datasets.
