25 paź 2024 · 1-bit LLMs are an important innovation in the area of large language models.Unlike traditional LLMs that use 32-bit or 16-bit floating point numbers to represent weights and activations, 1-bit LLMs quantise the values to just 1-bit. This reduces the computational footprint and increases the inferencing speed drastically. Recently, Microsoft released bitnet.cpp, a framework for faster and ...
18 paź 2024 · bitnet.cpp is the official framework for inference with 1-bit LLMs (e.g., BitNet b1.58). It includes a set of optimized kernels for fast and lossless inference of 1.58-bit models on CPUs, with...
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 this http URL layer in order to train 1-bit weights from scratch.
7 sty 2024 · BitNet simplifies the traditional neural network weight representations from multiple bits to just one bit, drastically reducing the model’s memory footprint and energy consumption. This design contrasts with conventional LLMs, which typically use 16-bit precision, leading to heavier computational demands [1]. Advantages.
