NativeTernary: A Self-Delimiting Binary Encoding with Unary Run-Length Hierarchy Markers for Ternary Neural Network Weights, Structured Data, and General Computing Infrastructure
arXiv:2604.03336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: BitNet b1.58 (Ma et al., 2024) demonstrates that large language models can operate entirely on ternary weights {-1, 0, +1}, yet no native binary wire format exists for such models. NativeTernary closes this gap. We…
