You need to agree to share your contact information to access this model

Model weights released under tabpfn-2.5-license-v1.0. This license is designed to be permissive for research and internal evaluation. It explicitly allows testing, evaluation, and internal benchmarking, so an organization can download the model and run preliminary assessments on its own datasets.
The key restriction is that the model, its derivatives, and its outputs cannot be used for any commercial or production purpose. This includes, but is not limited to, revenue-generating products, competitive benchmarking for procurement, client deliverables, or using the model’s results for internal commercial decision-making.
For all production use cases, we offer a Commercial Enterprise License. This provides access to our proprietary high-speed inference engine, dedicated support, integration tooling, and other internal models. Please contact us at [email protected] for commercial licensing inquiries.

Model Overview

TabPFN-2.5 is a transformer-based foundation model that uses in-context-learning to solve tabular prediction problems in a forward pass. Inference code can be found at https://github.com/PriorLabs/tabPFN.

Getting started

First, install the inference package:

pip install tabpfn

Fitting a classifier and predicting looks like this:

from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from tabpfn import TabPFNClassifier

# Load data
X, y = load_breast_cancer(return_X_y=True)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.5, random_state=42)

# Initialize a classifier
clf = TabPFNClassifier()  # Uses TabPFN 2.5 weights, finetuned on real data.
clf.fit(X_train, y_train)


# Predict probabilities
prediction_probabilities = clf.predict_proba(X_test)
# Predict labels
predictions = clf.predict(X_test)
print("Accuracy", accuracy_score(y_test, predictions))

Developers & Affiliations

Developed by Prior Labs.

Intended Use

Regression and classification tasks with ≤50 000 samples and ≤2000 features in structured tabular format.

Not Intended Use

Not suitable for unstructured data (text, images); use API version for textual features.
Not tested for >50 000 samples or > 2000 features.

Model Architecture

Transformer with TabPFNv2-like alternating attention with 18-24 layers

Training Data and Priors

TabPFN-2.5: trained purely on synthetic tabular tasks
Real-TabPFN-2.5: continued pre-training on real-world datasets (for details please see Appendix C.1 of the model tech report).

Performance Benchmarks

Evaluated on proprietary benchmark collection, TabArena, and RealCause (for a causal version), in each of which it yields new SOTA results by a wide margin. Please see the model tech report for details.

Ethical Considerations

Having been trained purely on synthetic datasets, TabPFN-2.5 is free from dataset leakage from the pretraining stage. However, like for any other tabular prediction method, when applied to high-risk use cases, users should ensure that the labelled data is free of biases. For Real-TabPFN-2.5, you can find the dataset list in Appendix C.1 of the model tech report.

Limitations

Performance can degrade when applied to >50000 data points and/or 2000 features.

Licensing

Model weights released under tabpfn-2.5-license-v1.0.

The license is designed to be permissive for research and limited internal evaluation. It explicitly allows testing, evaluation, and internal benchmarking, so an organization can download the model and run preliminary assessments on its own datasets. The key restriction is that the model, its derivatives, and its outputs cannot be used for any commercial or production purpose. This includes, but is not limited to, revenue-generating products, competitive benchmarking for procurement, client deliverables, or using the model’s results for internal commercial decision-making. For all production use cases, we offer a Commercial Enterprise License.
