VibeVoice-ASR-BitNet Technical Report
Songchen Xu, Ting Song, Shaohan Huang +10
We present VibeVoice-ASR-BitNet, a compressed variant of VibeVoice-ASR optimized for real-time inference on edge CPUs. We apply heterogeneous quantization tailored to the computati…
BitNet Text Embeddings
Zhen Li, Xin Huang, Liang Wang +8
LLM-based text embedders have substantially improved retrieval and semantic representation quality, but their deployment remains costly: large backbone models slow down embedding i…
VIBEVOICE-ASR Technical Report
Zhiliang Peng, Jianwei Yu, Yaoyao Chang +21
This report presents VibeVoice-ASR, a general-purpose speech understanding framework built upon VibeVoice, designed to address the persistent challenges of context fragmentation an…
SlideSparse: Fast and Flexible (2N-2):2N Structured Sparsity
Hanyong Shao, Yingbo Hao, Ting Song +10
NVIDIA's 2:4 Sparse Tensor Cores deliver 2x throughput but demand strict 50% pruning -- a ratio that collapses LLM reasoning accuracy (Qwen3: 54% to 15%). Milder patter…
Sparse-BitNet: 1.58-bit LLMs are Naturally Friendly to Semi-Structured Sparsity
Di Zhang, Xun Wu, Shaohan Huang +9
Semi-structured N:M sparsity and low-bit quantization (e.g., 1.58-bit BitNet) are two promising approaches for improving the efficiency of large language models (LLMs), yet they ha…
BitNet Distillation
Xun Wu, Shaohan Huang, Wenhui Wang +4
In this paper, we present BitNet Distillation (BitDistill), a lightweight pipeline that fine-tunes off-the-shelf full-precision LLMs (e.g., Qwen) into 1.58-bit precision (i.e., ter…
