Use Cases
Where and how to use BitNet and 1-bit LLMs
Chat and Conversational AI
Use instruction-tuned 1-bit models (e.g. Falcon3-Instruct) for chatbots, assistants, and customer support. BitNet's conversation mode (-cnv) formats prompts correctly. See usage and models.
Code Completion and Dev Tools
Integrate BitNet into IDEs or CLI tools for code completion, refactoring suggestions, or documentation generation. Low memory footprint allows running alongside other dev tools.
Edge and Local Inference
Run LLMs on laptops, workstations, or servers without high-end GPUs. 1-bit models need far less VRAM, so you can use smaller hardware or CPU-only setups. Check installation and benchmarks.
Research and Experimentation
Experiment with quantization, prompt engineering, or model comparison. BitNet supports multiple model families and benchmarking scripts.
Production APIs and Services
Serve 1-bit models via your own API for internal tools or low-cost external services. Combine with your backend and scale with standard servers.
