What is Kronos
Kronos is the first open-source, decoder-only foundation model for financial K-lines. A dedicated tokenizer quantizes OHLCV into hierarchical discrete tokens, and an autoregressive Transformer generates the following candles.
Forecast the next candles of any USDT perpetual contract with Kronos, the open-source foundation model for financial K-lines — six intervals from 5 minutes to 1 day, with history and forecast on one chart.
Run a Kronos K-line analysis in three steps:
Open the “Contract” dropdown and type a coin name (e.g. btc, eth) to search. Use ↑ ↓ to move and Enter to confirm. Popular coins are pinned at the top.
Pick one of 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h or 1d. Shorter intervals focus on short-term moves; longer ones show the broader trend.
Click “Start analysis”. The latest 512 candles are sent to the Kronos model, and a few seconds later the chart shows history and forecast candles together, with the forecast change and range.
Choose a coin and an interval, then click “Start analysis”.
Forecasts reflect statistical patterns in past candles, are not guaranteed and are for research only. Not investment advice.
Kronos is the first open-source, decoder-only foundation model for financial K-lines. A dedicated tokenizer quantizes OHLCV into hierarchical discrete tokens, and an autoregressive Transformer generates the following candles.
Per the authors, it was pre-trained on more than 12 billion K-line records from 45 global exchanges; the paper was accepted at AAAI 2026 (arXiv 2508.02739).
After you pick a pair and interval, the server reads the latest 512 candles (the context length of Kronos-small / base) and asks Kronos for the open, high, low and close of the next candles.
| Model | Parameters | Context length |
|---|---|---|
| Kronos-mini | 4.1M | 2048 |
| Kronos-small | 24.7M | 512 |
| Kronos-base | 102.3M | 512 |
