🤖Microsoft Releases Ultra-Efficient 1-bit AI Model BitNet b1.58 2B4T: Outperforms Multiple Billion-parameter Models

Microsoft researchers have released a 1-bit AI model named BitNet b1.58 2B4T. With 2 billion parameters and under the MIT license, this model can run on various CPUs, including Apple M2. By quantizing weights into three values: -1, 0, and 1, BitNet achieves extremely high memory and computational efficiency. In tests such as GSM8K and PIQA, the performance of BitNet b1.58 2B4T surpasses models like Meta's Llama 3.2 1B, Google's Gemma 3 1B, and Alibaba's Qwen 2.5 1.5B.
