Oxen.ai Blog

Welcome to the Oxen.ai blog 🐂

The team at Oxen.ai is dedicated to helping AI practictioners go from research to production. To help enable this, we host a research paper club on Fridays called ArXiv Dives, where we go over state of the art research and how you can apply it to your own work.

Take a look at our Arxiv Dives, Practical ML Dives as well as a treasure trove of content on how to go from raw datasets to production ready AI/ML systems. We cover everything from prompt engineering, fine-tuning, computer vision, natural language understanding, generative ai, data engineering, to best practices when versioning your data. So, dive in and explore – we're excited to share our journey and learnings with you 🚀

ArXiv Dives: The Era of 1-bit LLMs, All Large Language Models are in 1.58 Bits
ArXiv Dives: The Era of 1-bit LLMs, All Large Language Models are in 1.58 Bits

This paper presents BitNet b1.58 where every weight in a Transformer can be represented as a {-1, 0, 1} instead of a floating point number. The model matches full precision transfo...
