bitnet.cpp is the official inference framework for 1-bit LLMs (e.g., BitNet b1.58). It offers a suite of optimized kernels, that support fast and lossless inference of 1.58-bit models on CPU (with NPU and GPU support coming next).
18 wrz 2024 · BitNet is a special transformers architecture that represents each parameter with only three values: (-1, 0, 1), offering a extreme quantization of just 1.58 ( l o g 2 (3) log_2(3) l o g 2 (3)) bits per parameter. However, it requires to train a model from scratch.
28 lut 2024 · Recent research, such as BitNet, is paving the way for a new era of 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs). In this work, we introduce a 1-bit LLM variant, namely BitNet b1.58, in which every single parameter (or weight) of the LLM is ternary {-1, 0, 1}.
This repository not only provides PyTorch implementations for training and evaluating 1.58-bit neural networks but also includes a unique integration where the experiments conducted automatically update a LaTeX-generated paper.
4 kwi 2024 · The results reveal that BitNet b1.58 starts to match LLaMA at 3B model size and continues to narrow the performance gap onwards, outperforming full-precision models on perplexity and end-task...
17 paź 2023 · In this work, we introduce BitNet, a scalable and stable 1-bit Transformer architecture designed for large language models. Specifically, we introduce BitLinear as a drop-in replacement of the nn.Linear layer in order to train 1-bit weights from scratch.
26 mar 2024 · BitNet b1.58 addresses this by halving activation bits, enabling a doubled context length with the same resources, with potential further compression to 4 bits or lower for 1.58-bit LLMs, a...
