bitnet.cpp
Official inference framework for 1-bit LLMs
bitnet.cpp is the official open-source inference framework and ecosystem designed to enable ultra-efficient execution of 1-bit large language models (LLMs), which quantize most model parameters to ternary values (-1, 0, +1) while maintaining competitive performance with full-precision counterparts. At its core is bitnet.cpp, a highly optimized C++ backend that supports fast, low-memory inference on both CPUs and GPUs, enabling models such as BitNet b1.58 to run without requiring enormous...
