The model uses marked strings as the context of the task. For evaluation, you need separate lines that did not participate in the preparation and selection of settings.
One object can give many lines
A sample may be measured more than once in a quality-control dataset. With a random row split, similar measurements can appear in both the fitting and evaluation sets. TabPFN uses labeled examples when processing new rows, so this split makes the task artificially easy. Hold out entire sample groups or select a later time period if the model will be used for future batches.
How to Compare Classifiers
Prepare columns with measurements and a separate target sign. Remove records that are only available after a manual marriage decision. Compare TabPFN with a simple landmark on the same partition. Look at what types of marriage each model misses and how many usable parts it sends for extra checking. The overall proportion of correct answers may change little, although the error in a rare class will become noticeably more expensive.
Save version before launch
Document the input features and treatment of missing values. For reruns, record the weight version and settings because variants have different limits and access terms. The repository lists the code license separately from weight licenses. For commercial work, verify the terms of the exact version. A short exercise helps decide whether further experiments are worthwhile. Validate on new real batches and review each meaningful error type separately.
Suitable tasks

Terms
Code and weights are licensed separately. Some weight versions come with noncommercial terms. Prior Labs describes other options for production use. Weight licenses vary by version.From task to first result
Practical example
- Task
- Compare classification by small table of features
- What to prepare
- A training table with marked lines, groups of sources and a separate verification period.
Task brief or prompt
Teach the classifier in the early period. Compare errors on deferred lines with a simple benchmark and write errors by class.
Expected result
Table of test forecasts with target values and breakdown of errors by groups.
How to check the result
- Remove signs that appear after marking.
- Check that one group of lines did not make it into both samples.
