bitnet SKILL.md skillA
bitnet from broomva/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add broomva/skills/bitnet@git:20260628.9edbf07Pins git:20260628.9edbf07 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Microsoft BitNet — 1-bit LLM setup, inference, and benchmarking on CPU. Automates the full workflow: clone bitnet.cpp, create conda env, download GGUF models from HuggingFace, build optimized ternary kernels, and run inference. Supports official Microsoft models (2B) and community models (0.7B-10B). Use when: (1) setting up BitNet/bitnet.cpp for local CPU inference, (2) downloading and running 1-bit/ternary LLMs, (3) benchmarking BitNet vs full-precision models, (4) building edge/agentic…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# BitNet — 1-Bit LLM Operations
Set up and run Microsoft's BitNet (1.58-bit ternary LLMs) for efficient CPU inference. Models use weights of {-1, 0, +1} — no GPU required.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Full setup in 5 commands
./scripts/install-bitnet.sh
./scripts/download-model.sh microsoft/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T-gguf
./scripts/build-bitnet.sh
./scripts/run-inference.sh -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv
```
Or manually:
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet.git ~/BitNet
cd ~/BitNet
conda create -n bitnet-cpp python=3.9 -y && conda activate bitnet-cpp
pip install -r requirements.txt
huggingface-cli download microsoft/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T-gguf --local-dir models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T
python setup_env.py -md models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T -q i2_s
python run_inference.py -m models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T/ggml-model-i2_s.gguf -p "Hello" -n 128
```
## Prerequisites

| Python 3.9+ | `brew install python@3.9` or conda | Yes |
| CMake 3.22+ | `brew install cmake` | Yes |
| Clang 18+ | `brew install llvm` | Yes |
| conda | `brew install --cask miniconda` | Yes |

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/bitnet@sha256:2698f257371cff8eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260628.9edbf07, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
