2.1.0 Released with updates for fine-tuning

[abdulfatir]

🚀 What's New?

• Chronos-2 can now be deployed on AWS via SageMaker JumpStart. Please check this notebook for details.
• Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA) is now used as the default attention implementation in Chronos-2. If you need to use the previous eager implementation, please load the model with Chronos2Pipeline.from_pretrained(..., attn_implementation="eager").
• predict_df support has been added for older Chronos and Chronos-Bolt models. Now, all models (Chronos-2, Chronos-Bolt, Chronos) provide a unified pandas dataframe API. Note: Only Chronos-2 supports multivariate and covariate-informed forecasting.
• Chronos2Pipeline.embed has been added, enabling users to extract embeddings from the last layer of the Chronos-2 encoder.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed issues related to past-only covariates use during Chronos-2 fine-tuning. If you're fine-tuning Chronos-2 models, we strongly recommend upgrading to chronos-forecasting==2.1.0.
• Fixed issue related to multiple workers on windows.
