What is bitnet.cpp?

bitnet.cpp is a 1-bit LLM inference framework by Microsoft in C/C++ language.

bitnet.cpp is developed based on llama.cpp.

If you are interested in llama.cpp, please click the following.

bitnet.cpp is available as open source on GitHub.

The open source license is MIT License.

The features and limitations of bitnet.cpp are as follows.

  • Supporting fast, lossless inference of 1.58-bit models on CPUs (NPUs and GPUs to be supported)
  • On ARM CPUs, achieves speedups ranging from 1.37x to 5.07x and power reductions ranging from 55.4% to 70.0%
  • On x86 CPUs, achieved speedups ranging from 2.37x to 6.17x and power consumption reductions ranging from 71.9% to 82.2%
  • 100B BitNet b1.58 model running on a single CPU achieved speeds comparable to human reading speed (5 to 7 tokens per second)
