NativeTernary: A Self-Delimiting Binary Encoding with Unary Run-Length Hierarchy Markers for Ternary Neural Network Weights, Structured Data, and General Computing Infrastructure
Publisher summary· verbatim
arXiv:2604.03336v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: BitNet b1.58 (Ma et al., 2024) demonstrates that large language models can operate entirely on ternary weights {-1, 0, +1}, yet no native binary wire format exists for such models. NativeTernary closes this gap. Benchmarked against GGUF on the real
