A new family of large language models, BitCPM-CANN, has been developed using a novel 1.58-bit ternary quantization technique. These models, ranging from 0.5B to 8B parameters, achieve significant memory reduction for inference, approximately six times less than their full-precision counterparts. The training process, conducted on Huawei Ascend NPUs, introduced minimal overhead, with only a 5% degradation in throughput. AI
