Evaluation of long-term time series forecasting models on the Traffic dataset, reporting Mean Squared Error (MSE) specifically at forecasting horizons of 96, 192, 336, and 720 time steps.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Long-term forecasting |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Traffic |
| Metric | MSE (Horizon 96) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 7 of 7 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.
