What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Existing time series language models predominantly follow an offline, one-shot paradigm: they process fixed-length inputs independently and do not retain past states. This static approach fundamentally misaligns with the continuous nature of real-world streaming applications and fails to maintain the historical context necessary for cross-window reasoning. To bridge this gap, we introduce Continuous & Live Time Series Understanding (CL-TSU), a novel paradigm that shifts the focus toward maintaining a persistent, stateful understanding over open-ended data streams. To systematically evaluate this paradigm, we present LiveTS-Suite, the first comprehensive data suite tailored for CL-TSU, supporting data generation, model training, and systematic evaluation across 18 tasks spanning six core capabilities. It comprises over 5K streams totaling 2.2B timesteps, annotated with 15K specific response events. We further design an evaluation protocol that jointly assesses response timeliness, content accuracy, and computational efficiency. Building on this foundation, we propose TimeOmni-Live, the first live time series understanding model. It integrates a hybrid time series encoding for natively temporal input, a stream-persistent hybrid memory mechanism to effectively preserve exact historical evidence and long-term task states, and an elastic stream-inference synchronization strategy to reduce processing lag. Evaluations show that TimeOmni-Live establishes a strong baseline for CL-TSU, outperforming frontier LLMs (90.0 vs. 79.3 for Opus 5) with only 4B parameters and achieving 206$\times$ lower p95 latency than its backbone. Deployment on a Jetson edge device further shows its ability to support real-time continuous temporal understanding locally at the edge.
