I don't see the news here ... there's https://huggingface.co/collections/microsoft/bitnet which is last updated 12/2025 ... am I just paying more attention here or is there something actually new about this?

Also as far as I know, this is more of a research curiosity - BitNet really doesn't perform that well on evals.

I think Qwen3.5 2B is the best you can get in the ~1GB class.
