Even with a bitnet, it’s almost definitely better to train on a high precision float then refine down to bits.

I would expect bitnet to require more layers for equivalent quality too.

    I just meant for mass inference serving.

    Yeah, I haven’t seen much in the way of bitnet training savings yet, like regular old QAT. It does appear that Deepseek is finetuning their MoEs in a 4-bit format now, though.
