Key Takeaways Intel’s BITCOS compresses ternary LLM weights to 1.485 bits per weight, achieving up to 27% faster decoding on Intel Arc Pro B70 GPUs. BITCOS separates weights into a presence bitmap and a sign stream, skipping sign bits for zero weights entirely, compression benefit scales directly w…
