What it does
BitNet.cpp is an inference framework developed by Microsoft for running 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs). It focuses on achieving fast and lossless inference on both CPUs and GPUs, significantly reducing computational resources and latency compared to traditional methods. This technology enables wider accessibility and deployment of LLMs, particularly on edge devices.
