Holy shit... Microsoft open sourced an inference framework that runs a 100B parameter LLM on a single CPU.
It's called BitNet. And it does what was supposed to be impossible.
No GPU. No cloud. No $10K hardware setup. Just your laptop running a 100-billion parameter model at human reading speed.
Here's how it works:
Every other LLM stores weights in 32-bit or 16-bit floats.
BitNet uses 1.58 bits.
Weights are ternary just -1, 0, or +1. That's it. No floats. No expensive matrix math. Pure integer operations your CPU was already built for.
The result:
- 100B model runs on a single CPU at 5-7 tokens/second
- 2.37x to 6.17x faster than llama.cpp on x86
- 82% lower energy consumption on x86 CPUs
- 1.37x to 5.07x speedup on ARM (your MacBook)
- Memory drops by 16-32x vs full-precision models
The wildest part:
Accuracy barely moves.
BitNet b1.58 2B4T their flagship model was trained on 4 trillion tokens and benchmarks competitively against full-precision models of the same size. The quantization isn't destroying quality. It's just removing the bloat.
What this actually means:
- Run AI completely offline. Your data never leaves your machine
- Deploy LLMs on phones, IoT devices, edge hardware
- No more cloud API bills for inference
- AI in regions with no reliable internet
The model supports ARM and x86. Works on your MacBook, your Linux box, your Windows machine.

@berttemme What do you do with WMS and interoperability ? What do you do with infras which have 1200 layers, you generate them all in PMTiles cache at every change ?
What do you do with all the ecosystem of applications which can't handle large amount of vector data ?
etc.. 🙃

@jeffpillou Bravo ! D'où viennent les données ? Qu'est ce qui a été le plus compliqué dans le développement du projet ?

If you develop geospatial web applications, you certainly rely on @opengeospatial #OGC APIs.
To ease your developer journey, give a try to the open source library ogc-client ✨

@INSPIRE_EU on the move !
The directive is
1. overly prescriptive
2. of limited use in environmental policy development
3. does not take in consideration evolving user needs
It's "la raison d'être" 💫
