Does TimeGPT, like many ML models, is typically used only for batch processing ? Can I use TimeGPT to do predictions upon receiving real-time data on tick bases?

Hi <@U0672S85M7E> if you get new data, you still need to send the history so that TimeGPT can use it to generate predictions. Simply sending the latest tick may not be enough, as TimeGPT needs enough historical data.

To avoid the dataframe increasing too much in size, you can append the new tick to the previous dataframe, drop the oldest one, and pass this updated dataframe to TimeGPT to generate the forecasts.
