Current Python alternatives for statistical models are slow, inaccurate and don't scale well. So we created a library that can be used to forecast in production environments or as benchmarks. StatsForecast includes an extensive battery of models that can efficiently fit millions of time series.
The AutoARIMA model implemented in StatsForecast is 20x faster than pmdarima and 1.5x faster than R while improving accuracy. You can see the exact comparison and reproduce the results here.
StatsForecast's exponential smoothing is 4x faster than StatsModels' and 1.6x faster than R's, with improved accuracy and robustness. You can see the exact comparison and reproduce the results here
With StatsForecast you can fit 9 benchmark models on 1,000,000 series in under 5 min. Reproduce the results here.
You can run this notebooks to get you started.

Example of different
AutoARIMAmodels on M4 data- In this notebook we present Nixtla's
AutoARIMA. TheAutoARIMAmodel is widely used to forecast time series in production and as a benchmark. However, the alternative python implementation (pmdarima) is so slow that prevents data scientists from quickly iterating and deployingAutoARIMAin production for a large number of time series.
