Hi Microsoft BitNet team,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for releasing bitnet-embedding-0.6b and the 270M variant. These are excellent multilingual text embeddings (94 languages!) with strong MTEB performance while staying extremely efficient thanks to the native 1.58-bit weights. It's great to see them working so well with bitnet.cpp on CPU.
This is genuinely impactful work.
I'm really looking forward to the next step β€” full multilingual BitNet LLMs (instruction/chat models) that can run fast inference directly on the CPU without needing a GPU. Models like these would be game-changing for edge devices, laptops, and regions with limited hardware access.
Keep up the amazing work! πŸ™
