arXiv:2610.22428v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In a small language model the vocabulary is the single largest part. In Gemma 3 270M the embedding table holds 168M of 268M parameters, and because quantisation methods leave the embedding in 16-bit, it is also most of the file once the rest of the mod
arXiv:2610.22621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The training loss of binary and ternary neural networks, expanded as a multilinear polynomial over the discrete weights, is structurally equivalent to the energy of a hierarchical high-order Ising model. We exploit this equivalence to apply Ising solve
arXiv:2610.21808v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Weight quantization below four bits shrinks memory and bandwidth at a perplexity that looks acceptable, but often at the cost of factual knowledge and task accuracy. Ternary weights have mostly been obtained by training from scratch or long fine-tuning
arXiv:2610.07853v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ternary language models such as BitNet b1.58, Falcon-E and BitCPM are fine-tuned with higher-precision latent weights and deployed as ternary codes produced by an export step that, in the labs' documented pipelines, first casts the latents to
arXiv:2610.02199v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Full-parameter fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) incurs substantial optimizer state memory overhead, limiting the model sizes that fit on modern GPUs. Existing approaches either compress optimizer state, abandon first-order gradients, or
arXiv:2610.08403v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) require substantial computational resources, limiting their deployment on resource-constrained hardware. Ternary LLMs mitigate these demands through weight quantization via ternary values, achieving significant compression
arXiv:2609.29397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ternary (1.58-bit) weights are attractive for microcontroller-class language models, but the sub-1M-parameter regime rests mainly on isolated, single-seed comparisons. One prominent example reports that a routed ternary block (convolution, diagonal SSM

arXiv:2609.16338v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ternary Large Language Models (LLM) store every weight as one of three symbols $\{-1,0,+1\}$, so the cost of a ternary model is conventionally referenced to the information-theoretic $\log_2 3 \approx 1.585$ bits per weight. The prevailing deployment f
arXiv:2609.00224v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weight-only post-training quantization (PTQ) can alleviate the computational burden of serving large language models (LLMs) at scale.

arXiv:2608.28809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extreme low-bit inference offers a route toward smaller models and constrained deployment. Ternary language models restrict weights to $\{-1,0,+1\}$, approaching the limit of $\log_2 3 \approx 1.585$ bits/weight. The practical question for a pretrained
