BitNet vs Ollama vs llama.cpp: which should I use?
Quick Answer
BitNet for efficiency (2-3x faster, 3-5x less memory). Ollama for simplicity. llama.cpp for model variety.
Detailed Answer
Choose llama.cpp if you need access to many different models (Mistral, Phi, Qwen) and maximum flexibility. Choose Ollama if you want the simplest setup and are prototyping. Choose BitNet if efficiency is your priority — it's 2-3x faster, uses 3-5x less memory, and consumes 3-4x less energy than equivalent quantized models. For high-volume automation on resource-constrained hardware, BitNet is the clear winner.
