Time-series AI models stumble against the simple baseline in market forecasting

It's refreshing to see someone put time-series foundation models to a real, honest test. The results here are blunt: Google's TimesFM, Amazon's Chronos-2, and Datadog's Toto 2.0 failed to beat simple baselines for stock price forecasting. Directional accuracy hovered around a coin flip, and a buy-and-hold strategy outperformed every model-driven approach. This is a grounded reminder that impressive general-purpose tools don't automatically translate to predictive power in noisy domains like finance.
