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. 27.4K GitHub stars. 2.2K forks. Built by Microsoft Research. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

Your company’s new “AI agent workflow” 🤣 That was painful to watch. 😭

C'est probablement la vidéo la plus claire à l'heure actuelle sur l'importance du détroit d'Hormuz.

There’s no such thing as liberal Media in Canada you dumb gooey fuck. Every major daily is owned by Conservative backers. 90% of Canadas newspapers are owned by Chatham asset management in the U.S.

This is an incredibly cool use of AI video. History lessons become much more interesting when you’re walking through a historic scene with a guide. The creator is doing a full series of these (chloe.vs.history on IG)

Incroyable. Meta a écrit noir sur blanc dans un document interne qu’elle devra profiter d’un climat de grande tension sociale pour transformer ses lunettes en outil de surveillance massive distribuée, pendant que les opposants seront inaudibles et/ou auront leur préoccupation tournée vers plus grave encore. C’est très littéralement la stratégie du choc décrite par Naomie Klein.

OpenAI is an $18 billion CIA propaganda machine. Chinese AI DeepSeek is free for the world and free from US control.

Prisca Thévenot est incapable de répondre quand on lui demande si elle a entendu des propos antisémites de la part de députés LFI, parce que c’est faux.

Au Mexique, on disait qu’augmenter le SMIC ruinerait le pays, mais depuis 2018, il est augmenté de 15 à 25 % par an. Soit + 150 % à ce jour. résultat ? l'inflation est stable, chômage le + bas de l'histoire et économie florissante, comme en Espagne.

🚨 UN HÉROS SANS CAPE !! Voici Jean-Baptiste Kempf, le créateur français du lecteur multimédia VLC. Il a refusé des dizaines de millions de dollars afin que VLC reste entièrement gratuit et sans publicité pour nous 🙏🏻

A clip that left the world in disbelief and horror. Israel blocked media outlets from airing it. Israel did this.
