- ## Model Details
4
-
5
- **Model Type:** Experimental Bit-Native Transformer Language Model
6
- **Architecture:** Transformer with reversible layers and bit-level processing
7
- **Developer:** WCNegentropy Research
8
- **Release Date:** August 2025
9
- **Version:** Pre-release Experimental
10
- **License:** AGPLv3 (see LICENSE/ directory)

12
- ## Model Description
13
-
14
- BitTransformerLM is an experimental language model that processes text at the bit level rather than using traditional token-based approaches. The architecture explores potential memory efficiency improvements through reversible transformer layers and provides built-in safety monitoring through real-time telemetry.
15
-
16
- ### Architecture Details
17
- - **Input Processing:** Direct binary sequence processing (0/1 bits)
18
- - **Attention Mechanism:** Multi-head self-attention on bit embeddings
19
- - **Layer Design:** Reversible transformer blocks for memory efficiency
20
- - **Safety Features:** Built-in K/C/S (Negentropy/Complexity/Symbiosis) telemetry
21
- - **Training Modes:** Causal autoregressive and experimental diffusion mode
22
-
23
- ## Training Data and Methodology
24
-
25
- ### Experimental Configurations Tested
26
- 1. **Small-scale CPU Training (793K parameters)**
27
- - Dataset: 4 samples, 16 sequence length
28
- - Training time: 0.21 seconds
29
- - Convergence: Achieved on toy data
30
-
31
- 2. **Large-scale GPU Training (771M parameters)**
32
- - Dataset: 5 text samples with zero-padding
33
- - Hardware: Single GPU (despite multi-GPU claims in some docs)
34
- - Training time: 11.47 seconds
35
- - Architecture: d_model=1792, 20 layers, 28 attention heads
36
-
37
- ### Limitations Identified
38
- - **Limited Training Data:** Experiments used minimal datasets insufficient for language modeling evaluation
39
- - **No Baseline Comparisons:** Missing comparative evaluation against standard transformers
40
- - **Scale Claims:** Some documentation overstated parameter counts and GPU usage
41
- - **Training Duration:** Short training periods insufficient for convergence assessment

- ### Known Issues and Limitations
60
-
61
- 1. **Experimental Status:** This is research code requiring rigorous validation
62
- 2. **Training Data:** Evaluated only on toy datasets, not real language modeling tasks
63
- 3. **Baseline Gaps:** No systematic comparison to established transformer architectures
64
- 4. **Scale Verification:** Largest validated model is 771M parameters, not 1B+ as claimed elsewhere
65
- 5. **Convergence:** Training times too short to establish genuine convergence behavior
