The poor TSFM performance is attributed to pretraining corpora lacking high-frequency, domain-diverse examples (temporal-scale and domain mismatch).
Paper interprets benchmark failures as resulting from pretraining data mismatch (TSFMs usually pretrained on low-frequency domains like energy/finance) and argues lack of high-frequency examples reduces effectiveness.

Estimates of productivity gains from automating quantum-program generation should be discounted given the current lack of hardware-execution validation; adoption timelines and returns remain contingent on resolving the Layer 3b gap.
