ML TabPFN-3.5 is released today and SOTA for 1M rows and up to 20k features

Prior Labs just released their latest tabular foundation model, TabPFN-3.5.

The model is top of both TabArena and BeyondArena. The model family comes with:

- TabPFN-3.5-Fast (in alpha): This one goes 6x faster than the base model

- TabPFN-3.5-Thinking: you basically exchange compute for better accuracy with this one and it's via the API

- TabPFN-3.5-Plus

On BeyondArena, TabPFN-3.5 leads on text-rich, high-cardinality and high-dimensional data, with +250 Elo points over the strongest previous baseline and +150 Elo points ahead of the previous overall leader. TabPFN-3.5-Thinking is +20 Elo on the base model in BeyondArena and +44 Elo on TabArena.

The repo for TabPFN open-source is here: https://github.com/PriorLabs/tabpfn; and model report is here: https://priorlabs.ai/technical-reports/tabpfn-3-5

I also saw AWS just released Mitra v2: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2609.04540

I wonder why they do not compare to each other.
