📈 Why is that important? Most of IoT is Timeseries and so far most models (LLM and others) are not generalizable or effective. This could significantly change that.

Anecdotally I’ve seen this to be true haha. I once worked on a project where an intern started taking screen shots of traces and feeling those into a neural net and it worked better than any of the hand-coded analysis for a certain kind of problem!
