Large Language Models Tabular LLMs: An Introduction to the Foundation Models That Predict Your Spreadsheet A 28M-parameter model you don’t train beats tuned XGBoost. An introduction to tabular foundation models, with an independent reproduction. Sean Moran Jul 24, 2026 24 min read Share TabICLv2’s three-stage pipeline. It reads a whole table in one forward pass and predicts each test row’s missing target — like a learned k-NN, with no fitting to your data. (1) A set transformer embeds each cell into a 128-d vector, per column and target-aware. (2) For each row, 4 CLS tokens attend across its features and concatenate into one 512-d token (RoPE).
