TS-Haystack: A Multi-Task Retrieval Benchmark for Long-Context Time-Series Reasoning
Time Series Language Models (TSLMs) promise reasoning over real-world temporal data, but their ability to retrieve and reason over long time-series remains largely untested. We introduce TS-Haystack, a multi-domain retrieval benchmark with ten event-grounded question-answering tasks over contexts from 100 seconds to 24 hours, spanning direct retrieval, temporal reasoning, multi-step reasoning, and contextual anomaly detection. Existing TSLMs exhibit severe long-context degradation: accuracy declines with context length, direct-tokenization models run out of memory beyond 100 seconds on high-rate signals, and time-interval-grounded tasks collapse toward near-zero accuracy when increasing the time-series lengths, aligning with existing literature on text and multi-modal long context retrieval. An agentic retrieval framework using specialized time-series classifier tools matches or outperforms SoTA TSLMs on 9 of 10 tasks, highlighting agentic retrieval as a promising approach for long-context TSLMs.

Haystack Engineering: Context Engineering for Heterogeneous and Agentic Long-Context Evaluation
Modern long-context large language models (LLMs) perform well on synthetic "needle-in-a-haystack" (NIAH) benchmarks, but such tests overlook how noisy contexts arise from biased retrieval and agentic workflows. We argue …
