Starting the Era of 1-bit LLMs – With Microsoft Research

itNet is paving the way for a new era of 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs). In this work, we introduce a 1-bit LLM variant, namely BitNet b1.58, in which every single parameter (or weight) of the LLM is ternary {-1, 0, 1}. It matches the full-precision (i.e., FP16 or BF16) Transformer LLM with the same …

BREAKTHROUGH CMOS N-Type Diamond Transistors

Diamond CMOS needs symmetrical doping control like we have for semiconductor silicon and diamond n-MOS is needed. The n-channel diamond MOSFETs are demonstrated. This work will enable the development of energy-efficient and high-reliability CMOS integrated circuits for high-power electronics, integrated spintronics, and extreme sensors under harsh environments. Currently, p-channel diamond MOSFETs have been extensively developed …

Vera Rubin Telescope Could Detect Mars, Mercury And Pluto Sized Planets from 2025-2035

Researchers estimate that the number of captured free-floating planets in the outer solar system with mass strictly greater than that of Mars is ∼1.2 and that the number of such planets with a strict cutoff at the mass of Mercury is ∼2.4. When they instead adopt logarithmic bins centered at the Mars mass and the …

Ultraviolet Metalenses Mass Produced. Will Enable Future AI Chips

Extreme Ultraviolet lithography for computer chips have been critical to letting us efficiently get better than 14 nanometer computer chips. Deep ultraviolet lithography were used for 14 nanometer feature sizes. China chip companies do not have access to EUV lithography equipment and have pushed deep ultraviolet lithography to 7 nanometer feature sizes. Metalenses are 10,000 …
