Of course it’s a pretty good browser, […]

SymPy: Symbolic Mathematics in Python

Why SymPy SymPy is… Free: Licensed under BSD, SymPy is free both as in speech and as in beer. Python-based: SymPy is written entirely in Python and uses Python for its language. Lightweight: SymPy only depends on mpmath, a pure Python library for arbitrary floating point arithmetic, making it easy to use. A library: Beyond […]

The Era of 1-bit LLMs: ternary parameters for cost-effective computing

the-era-of-1-bit-llms:-ternary-parameters-for-cost-effective-computing

Abstract:Recent research, such as BitNet, is paving the way for a new era of 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs). In this work, we introduce a 1-bit LLM variant, namely BitNet b1.58, in which every single parameter (or weight) of the LLM is ternary {-1, 0, 1}. It matches the full-precision (i.e., FP16 or BF16) Transformer […]
