The Standardization of the 1-Bit Transformer Hardware Paradigm

    Major silicon foundries and architecture labs finalized the commercial production pipelines for 1-bit (ternary) Transformer models. Operating strictly on values of {-1, 0, 1}, these models completely eliminated the need for power-hungry floating-point multiplications, allowing edge-native devices and mobile smartphones to run massive 70-billion-parameter models locally with minimal battery and thermal footprints.
