On the standard tabular benchmark TabArena, a forward pass of TabPFN-3 outperforms all other models, including tuned and ensembled baselines, by a significant margin, and pareto-dominates the speed/performance frontier. TabPFN-3-Plus (Thinking) beats all non-TabPFN models by over 200 Elo on TabArena, rising to 420 Elo on the largest data subset, and outperforms AutoGluon 1.5 extreme while being 10x faster.
That benchmark wins on TabArena and other reported datasets, achieved via synthetic pretraining and test-time scaling, will generalize to arbitrary unseen real-world tabular distributions without hidden overfitting to the evaluation suites or synthetic data generator.
TabPFN-3 delivers state-of-the-art tabular prediction performance on benchmarks up to 1M rows, is up to 20x faster than prior versions, and introduces test-time scaling that beats non-TabPFN models by hundreds of Elo points.
