Microsoft's BitNet, the official inference framework for running 1-bit large language models, is gaining traction among developers. Written in C++, the open-source project lets users run highly compressed 1-bit LLMs efficiently on conventional hardware. Interest centers on its potential to cut memory and compute costs for local AI inference, making large models cheaper and more accessible.

Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, is developing BitNet b1.58, a 13-billion parameter large language model built on 1.58-bit quantization designed to run efficiently on edge devices with limited hardware. The move signals Tether's expansion beyond crypto into artificial intelligence, drawing attention for its unconventional low-precision approach to AI inference.
