Falcon-Edge: ternary BitNet LLMs for edge deployment under 1GB VRAM
TII's Falcon-Edge project releases ternary BitNet LLMs (1B and 3B base models) that slash memory and compute requirements, enabling inference on less than 1GB of VRAM. Fine-tuners get pre-quantized checkpoints and a clear path to 1-bit LLMs.
