Can I fine-tune BitNet on my own company data?
Quick Answer
BitNet is inference-only currently. No official fine-tuning code yet, but prompt engineering works well for most business use cases.
Detailed Answer
Currently, BitNet b1.58 2B4T is released for inference only. The training methodology is described in Microsoft's research papers, but no official fine-tuning code has been released. For custom training, you'd need to implement the BitLinear layers and training procedure yourself. Community efforts are ongoing — check the GitHub discussions for updates. For most business use cases, prompt engineering with the base model is sufficient.
