The forward pass quantizes to ternary using Straight-Through Estimator: +- Per-row scale = mean(|w|) per row +- Threshold = 0.7 * scale +- Values above threshold -> +1, below -threshold -> -1, else -> 0 +- Backward pass: gradients flow through as identity (STE) + +**Activation schedule:** Full-precision training for the first 30% of wallclock, then ternary STE for the remaining 70%. This lets the model learn representations before adapting to the quantization constraint. + +**Compression:** Ternary values {-1,0,1} stored as int8, compressed with zlib-9 (or zstd-22 when available for ~1MB savings). Since there are only 3 distinct values, compression achieves excellent ratios. Per-row fp16 scales for dequantization. Embedding kept as fp16. + +**Evaluation:** Sliding window with stride=64 for improved BPB. + +## Configuration + +``` +VOCAB_SIZE=1024, NUM_LAYERS=12, MODEL_DIM=768 +NUM_HEADS=12, NUM_KV_HEADS=6, MLP_MULT=3 +TRAIN_SEQ_LEN=1024, TRAIN_BATCH_TOKENS=524288 +MATRIX_LR=0.02, SCALAR_LR=0.02, MUON_MOMENTUM=0.99 +WARMDOWN_ITERS=3000, TERNARY_START_FRAC=0.3 +``` + +## Run Command + +```bash +RUN_ID=bitnet_final torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=8 train_gpt.py +``` + +## Results + +- **Model params:** 64,529,040 +- **Artifact size:** 15,878,267 bytes (code + ternary zlib-9) +- **Pre-quant val_bpb:** 1.2268 +- **Post-quant val_bpb:** 1.2271 +- **Quantization gap:** 0.0003 BPB +- **Sliding window val_bpb:** 1.1932 (stride=64) +- **Steps:** 5,026 / 20,000 (wallclock cap at 600s) +- **Step avg:** 119.38 ms +- **Peak memory:** 23,774 MiB +- **Training tokens:** ~2.6B (5,026 steps x 524,288 tokens/step) + +## Key Findings + +1. **Ternary training works at 65M scale** in a 10-minute budget — the loss recovers fully after the ternary transition. +2. **Quantization gap is near-zero** (~0.0003 BPB) because the model is trained with ternary STE. +3. **3x more parameters** fit in the same artifact budget compared to int6 quantization. +4.
