Microsoft just killed the GPU mafia! 🤯

They've open-sourced bitnet.cpp, a blazing-fast 1-bit LLM inference framework optimized for CPUs.

This is a major step forward for running large models locally, without expensive GPUs or cloud costs.

Demo app + repo + paper in 🧵 ↓

If you’re fed up of the BBC offering a prominent platform to people who want to abolish the NHS, RT this. I’ve written this book because we must stop those who have a political agenda to destroy the NHS 💙🚨
Please RT💙, and pls order your book here.

Do the taxpayers have a case against #ChrisGrayling? Eurotunnel managed it. Asking for a friend....

[Christopher Bacon @ChrisJbacon]
