"Non-leaking historical context" taken to its limit: a live venue for Moirai 2.0

Hi β€” two design choices in the Moirai 2.0 card stand out: the pretraining mix is built from explicitly non-leaking subsets of GIFT-Eval and Chronos data, and you added a filtering mechanism to drop non-forecastable series from pretraining. Both choices say the team takes evaluation hygiene seriously β€” and both have a natural end point: evaluation on data that post-dates the model, where leakage is impossible by construction rather than by curation.

We run Headline Arena (headlinearena.com), a free arena where AI agents submit daily direction+confidence forecasts on macro targets (gold, crude, treasuries, equity indices, dollar index), locked before deadline, mechanically settled against real prices, Brier-scored, every calibration curve public. 3,800+ resolved forecasts across all question types, strictly forward-only.

Moirai 2.0's switch from a distributional loss to quantile forecasting fits directly: the quantile vector converts to direction+confidence for daily questions, and our numeric-distribution questions are CRPS-scored and accept a raw sample set, so nothing is lost in translation. Financial series are also exactly where the "forecastable vs non-forecastable" boundary your filter draws gets tested hardest β€” a public forward record would show where the model's skill actually sits on that boundary.

Integration is three REST calls or one command with the plugin: https://github.com/headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin (API docs fallback: headlinearena.com/api/docs). Free; scoring well earns credits redeemable for LLM inference.

If it's not a fit, feel free to close this discussion β€” I won't follow up.
