great time to start with time-series research

[Patrick Langer @PatrickLangerAI]

We’re releasing TimeNet today, joining forces with researchers across the US, Europe, Asia and Australia to build the future of Temporal AI that understands our world as it changes.

An open data standard and scalable infrastructure for next-generation Temporal Foundation Models.

[nicozumarraga @nzuma0]

Frontier Time Series Language Models struggle with precise anomaly localization over long contexts, when useful signals might be hidden in hours of recordings.

In our new paper we trained a tiny Recursive Language Model to SoTA performance on long context time series.

We introduce AnomalyXL, an infinitely scalable synthetic time-series generator with programmatic ground truth answers.

Training our RLM formulation on this RL environment transfers to real world anomaly detection in Software Observability, ECG and Sleep data.

100+ people in Zurich for the @aionic_labs launch.

also launched: karaoke and our new caps. 🎤🧢

thanks to everyone helping us give AI a sense of time.

first of many. now, it’s time to build! 🚀

and yes, we’re hiring. (singing skills optional)

[Ilir Aliu @IlirAliu_]

@aionic_labs

Time series are everywhere: factory sensors, ECGs, power grids, financial markets.

But LLMs weren’t built to understand them natively. @robertjakob, @thomaskaar and team are building Time Series Language Models that combine raw temporal signals with language and reasoning.

sep 15: release of jev after 2 years of stealth building
sep 18: release of laya from the open-source community reporting faster responses and better results

i guess there is only one way out for US frontier labs (see image)

[Thomas Kaar @thomaskaar]

well funded ai & robotics teams

industry leaders, top politicians, investors all in the room

never been this bullish on europe 🚀

[Robert Jakob @robertjakob]

Feeling extremely bullish about Europe after the @SPRIND AI & Robotics Summit.

A personal highlight was speaking with the Swiss Ambassador to Germany, Livia Leu (@BotSchweizDE) about what we're building with @aionic_labs.

The real success story to me is the @SPRIND team behind it all. It is one amazing team of highly capable, high-agency, supportive, and extremely ambitious individuals on a mission to empower our best researchers and big ideas in Europe. They’re building a rocket ship. 🚀

Proud to see my home country Germany supporting a team and a program with this level of ambition, and happy to see other European countries starting to adopt what SPRIND is doing.

We’re ready to do our part with Aionic Labs and push Europe to the next level. 🇪🇺🇨🇭🇬🇧

If you want to help Europe leapfrog in AI, come build with us!

We’re hiring for GTM and FDE talent to bring our models into data centers, factories, hospitals, energy grids, aviation, space, financial services, and more.

[Thomas Kaar @thomaskaar]

rockstar hire with the photo to match. let’s go 🚀

[Timo @squid_whisperer]

Goodbye Meta! Hello @aionic_labs!

Stoked to announce that I've joined the crew over at AionicLabs, where we are putting up the first serious AI Frontier Lab based in Zurich.

The past month I've been building our training infra and co-authored on FIVE papers! This team is fire!

[Robert Jakob @robertjakob]

great to have all four @aionic_labs co-founders now in one room (and on X), building in Zurich.🇨🇭🚀

from an idea on a whiteboard at Stanford to a frontier AI lab in Europe and a global research community.

more to come 👀

@thomaskaar @martinm_ai @PatrickLangerAI

[Robert Jakob @robertjakob]

We are launching Aionic Labs (@aionic_labs). 🔥🚀

With support from SPRIN-D’s Next Frontier AI initiative, we are building a frontier AI company at the heart of Europe’s leading AI ecosystem.

Clinicians decide when a patient needs intervention. Factory teams catch machine problems before production stops. Operators determine which alarms demand action.

These are some of the most consequential decisions in the physical economy, and they all depend on time-series data.

We are developing Time-Series Language Models (TSLMs) that can understand these signals, reason over them, predict what comes next, and suggest actions in natural language.

TSLMs connect sensor data with language experts use to make critical decisions.

Europe is the right place to build this technology. We have world-class research, top technical talent, and decades of industrial expertise and data.

Our team brings together former founders, frontier tech experience, and world-class researchers from Stanford, Harvard, ETH Agentic Systems Lab (@ETH_agent_lab), ETH AI Center (@ETH_AI_Center) and CDTM (@cdtm_munich). We have built companies, developed technology at scale, and advanced research at the frontier of AI.

Over the coming months, we will:

→ Launch selected TSLM pilots across manufacturing, healthcare, energy, logistics, telecom, insurance, and banking.
→ Build an open research community around OpenTSLM (@OpenTSLM) and TimeNet.
→ Enable trusted data partnerships across industries.
→ Accelerate the Time-Series AI community in Zurich and Europe.

From Zurich. For Europe. 🇨🇭🇪🇺

Join our mission and help build a Frontier AI Lab from day one. Career and pilot program links are in the comments.

@antonosika says: “the internet will run on @lovable”. But will it convert?

We are building an AI chief revenue officer for your Lovable website, to make sure it does. Bonus: I’m running a marathon in-between
