TII released the Falcon-Edge series, a collection of 1.58-bit language models based on the BitNet architecture, available in 1B and 3B parameter sizes with base and instruction-tuned variants. The models use a novel pre-training paradigm that produces both non-quantized and quantized variants from a single training process, and they are designed for efficient deployment on edge devices.
