I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I know how busy you must be.  It's just we could do more to promote this site.  Does the twitter thingie work for you?

Hi Michael, nice to meet you. When is the next meeting? I may need some time to prepare and practice. The talk I'm writing outlines how we use Docker with the Gradle build tool to empower local development of cloud applications. Examples will include Grails and Spring Boot.

Hey Mike!

So cool Jim Clarke will be having a talk at OJUG! What are the chances his talk might be recorded? I have his book and am a huge fan. Love to get his view on the continued value in native development.

TornadoFX workshop should be recorded for tomorrow at Chicago GDG: I'll be sure to post in Kotlintown!

Microsoft Native 1-Bit LLM Could Bring Efficient genAI to Everyday CPUs

In a recent paper, Microsoft researchers described BitNet b1.58 2B4T, the first LLM to be natively trained using "1-bit" (technically, 1-trit) weights, rather than being quantized from a model trained with floating point weights. According to Microsoft, the model delivers performance comparable to full-precision LLMs of similar size at a fraction of the computation cost and hardware requirements.
