The claim behind TabPFN and TabICL: they predict on a table without ever training on it, and still beat tuned boosting.

  • Measured on 14 datasets from the Grinsztajn benchmark, same split and same clock for everyone.
  • The model that does not train won on 14 out of 14 against tuned XGBoost.
  • What it costs in latency and VRAM, and when I’d still reach for boosting — in the post.
