+bitnet.cpp is the official inference framework for 1-bit LLMs (e.g., BitNet b1.58). It offers a suite of optimized kernels, that support **fast** and **lossless** inference of 1.58-bit models on CPU (x86/ARM), GPU (CUDA), and Apple Silicon (Metal) (NPU support will coming next).
The first release of bitnet.cpp is to support inference on CPUs. bitnet.cpp achieves speedups of **1.37x** to **5.07x** on ARM CPUs, with larger models experiencing greater performance gains. Additionally, it reduces energy consumption by **55.4%** to **70.0%**, further boosting overall efficiency. On x86 CPUs, speedups range from **2.37x** to **6.17x** with energy reductions between **71.9%** to **82.2%**. Furthermore, bitnet.cpp can run a 100B BitNet b1.58 model on a single CPU, achieving speeds comparable to human reading (5-7 tokens per second), significantly enhancing the potential for running LLMs on local devices. Please refer to the [technical report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.16144) for more details.

+# BitNet Metal Backend
+
+Metal (Apple GPU) implementation for BitNet inference on macOS and Apple Silicon devices.
+
+## Overview
+
+This directory contains the Metal backend implementation for BitNet inference, enabling high-performance quantized neural network execution on Apple GPUs (M1, M2, M3 series).
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+1. **Metal Shaders** (`bitnet_kernels.metal`)
+ - `bitlinear_int8xint2`: Matrix multiplication kernel for int8 activations × int2 weights
+ - `bitlinear_int8xint2_simd`: SIMD-optimized variant with threadgroup caching
+ - `quantize_input`: Per-row activation quantization
+ - 2-bit weight decompression with ternary mapping (-1, 0, +1)
+
+2. **Objective-C++ Wrapper** (`metal_backend.mm`)
+ - PyTorch extension binding
+ - Metal device management and pipeline state caching
+ - Buffer management and command encoding
+
+3. **Python Model** (`model.py`)
+ - PyTorch model wrapper for Metal backend
+ - `BitLinearMetal`: Metal-accelerated linear layer
+ - `pack_weight_int8_to_int2`: Weight packing utility
+ - Falls back to MPS operations when custom kernels unavailable
+
+4. **Setup Script** (`setup.py`)
+ - Build configuration for Metal extension
+ - Links against Metal and Foundation frameworks
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Expected Speedups (vs CPU SIMD)
+
+Based on similar int8×int2 workloads:
+
+- **M1 Pro/Max**: 2-4x faster than optimized CPU SIMD (Neon)
+- **M2/M3**: 3-6x faster than CPU SIMD
+- **M3 Max/Ultra**: 5-8x faster with unified memory benefits
+
+### Comparison to CUDA
+
+Metal performance is typically:
+- 30-60% of equivalent NVIDIA GPU (A100/RTX 4090) for pure compute
+- Similar or better for memory-bound workloads due to unified memory
+
+## Building
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- macOS 12.0+ (Monterey)
+- Xcode Command Line Tools
+- Python 3.8+
+- PyTorch with MPS support
+
+### Build Steps
+
+```bash
+cd gpu/metal_kernels
+
+# Build Metal extension
+python setup.py build_ext --inplace
+
+# Or install
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+import torch
+from metal_kernels.model import Transformer, ModelArgs, BitLinearMetal
+
+# Check Metal availability
+if torch.backends.mps.is_available():
+ device = torch.device('mps')
+else:
+ device = torch.device('cpu')
+
+# Create model with Metal backend
+args = ModelArgs(use_kernel=True)
+model = Transformer(args).to(device)
+
+# Run inference
+with torch.no_grad():
+ output = model(tokens, cache)
+```
+
+### Profiling
+
+```bash
+# Profile Metal vs CPU
+python utils/profile_inference.py --backend all --batch-sizes 1,8,16
+
+# Specific backend
+python utils/profile_inference.py --backend metal --batch-sizes 1,8
+```
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Quantization Format
+
+- **Weights**: 2-bit packed (4 values per byte)
+ - Mapping: -1 → 00, 0 → 01, +1 → 10
+ - Stored as uint8, unpacked to int8 in kernel
+
+- **Activations**: int8 with per-row scaling
+ - Scale: `127 / max(abs(row))`
+ - Range: [-128, 127]
+
+### Memory Layout
+
+```
+Input [M, K] int8 → Quantize → Metal Buffer → Kernel
+Weights [N, K/4] uint8 packed → Metal Buffer → Decode in kernel
+Output [M, N] bfloat16 → Metal Buffer → PyTorch Tensor
+```
+
+### Kernel Design
+
+The Metal kernels use:
+- **Tile-based processing**: 8×32 tiles for efficient cache usage
+- **Threadgroup memory**: For weight caching and reduction
+- **SIMD groups**: 32 threads for warp-level operations
+- **BFloat16 output**: Native Apple GPU format support
+
+## Limitations
+
+1. **No Tensor Cores**: Metal doesn't expose int8×int2 tensor operations like CUDA
+2. **Kernel Compilation**: Shaders compiled at runtime (first use has overhead)
+3. **Memory**: Unified memory is beneficial but still limited by system RAM
+4. **Precision**: BFloat16 output may have slight accuracy differences vs FP32
+
+## Future Optimizations
+
+1. **Pre-compiled Metal library**: Ship `.metallib` instead of source compilation
+2. **Persistent buffers**: Reuse Metal buffers across inference calls
+3. **Graph capture**: Metal Performance Shaders graphs for reduced overhead
+4. **SIMD shuffle**: More aggressive use of SIMD-scoped operations
+5. **Half-precision accumulation**: Explore fp16 vs bf16 tradeoffs
