- First commercially viable 1-bit weight model with significantly reduced memory requirements across variants: 8B (1.15GB), 4B (0.57GB), and 1.7B (0.24GB).
- Engineered for robotics, real-time agents, and edge computing, offering high intelligence density and matching leading 8B models on benchmarks.
- Delivers major efficiency gains: 8B model has 14× smaller footprint, 8× faster speed, and 5× higher energy efficiency compared to full-precision models.
- Achieves exceptional speed, with 4B model reaching 132 tokens/sec on M4 Pro and 1.7B model 130 tokens/sec on iPhone 17 Pro Max.
- Combines strong accuracy with outstanding energy efficiency, making it ideal for performance- and speed-demanding workloads.
