BitNet v2: Native 4-bit Activations with Hadamard Transformation for 1-bit LLMs
Hongyu Wang, Shuming Ma, Furu Wei
Efficient deployment of 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs) is hindered by activation outliers, which complicate quantization to low bit-widths. We introduce BitNet v2, a novel fram…
BitNet b1.58 2B4T Technical Report
Shuming Ma, Hongyu Wang, Shaohan Huang +5
We introduce BitNet b1.58 2B4T, the first open-source, native 1-bit Large Language Model (LLM) at the 2-billion parameter scale. Trained on a corpus of 4 trillion tokens, the model…
M4U: Evaluating Multilingual Understanding and Reasoning for Large Multimodal Models
Hongyu Wang, Jiayu Xu, Senwei Xie +6
Multilingual capability is an essential aspect for large multimodal models, since they are usually deployed across various countries and languages. However, most existing benchmark…
Bitnet.cpp: Efficient Edge Inference for Ternary LLMs
Jinheng Wang, Hansong Zhou, Ting Song +7
The advent of 1-bit large language models (LLMs), led by BitNet b1.58, has spurred interest in ternary LLMs. Despite this, research and practical applications focusing on efficient…
BitNet a4.8: 4-bit Activations for 1-bit LLMs
Hongyu Wang, Shuming Ma, Furu Wei
Recent research on the 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs), such as BitNet b1.58, presents a promising direction for reducing the inference cost of LLMs while maintaining their perf…
1-bit AI Infra: Part 1.1, Fast and Lossless BitNet b1.58 Inference on CPUs
