Anyone here actually used TabPFN in practice? Pros/cons?

I’ve been reading about TabPFN and the claims around strong performance on tabular data with minimal tuning. On paper it looks impressive, but I’m curious about real-world experience.

For people who’ve actually tried it:

  • Where did it work well?

  • Where did it fall short?

  • How does it compare to e.g. XGBoost / LightGBM in practice?

  • Any gotchas (data size limits, stability, interpretability, etc.)?

Not looking for hype but rather honest experiences, good or bad.
