This is a reproduction of the BitNet b1.58 paper. The models are trained with RedPajama dataset for 100B tokens. The hypers, as well as two-stage LR and weight decay, are implemented as suggested in their following paper. All models are open-source in the repo. We will train larger models and/or more tokens when resource is available.

The differences between the reported numbers and the reproduced results are possibly variances from the training data processing, seeds, or other random factors.
