What if the future of artificial intelligence wasn’t about building bigger, more complex models, but instead about making them smaller, faster, and more accessible? The buzz around so-called “1-bit ...

We have occasionally featured vacuum tube computers here at Hackaday and we’ve brought you many single board computers, but until now it’s probable we haven’t brought you a machine that combined both ...

Microsoft researchers claim they’ve developed the largest-scale 1-bit AI model, also known as a “bitnet,” to date. Called BitNet b1.58 2B4T, it’s openly available under an MIT license and can run on ...
