Eliminate gpu/ directory (CUDA kernels, dual-model inference engine, PyTorch checkpoint converters) and all non-technical assets (media/, assets/, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). Add Reversa SDD analysis artifacts. The project direction is CPU-only universalization through mathematical exploration: WHT, tropical algebra, and binary-mask ternary arithmetic. GPU code archived in git history for reference. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implements Level 2 of the CPU universalization roadmap:
W = W⁺ - W⁻ algebraic decomposition eliminates ALL multiplications
from the ternary GEMV hot path (verified: exact integer identity,
max_diff=0 against MAD reference for 6912×2560 BitNet-2B FFN layer).
Files added:
src/ggml-bitnet-wht.cpp — AVX2 + NEON + scalar kernel
include/ggml-bitnet-wht.h — public C API
utils/wht_benchmark.py — mathematical identity verifier + roadmap
docs/mathematical-foundations.md — full treatment: ternary algebra,
WHT, tropical semiring, holographic representations (Levels 0–5)
Operation count at 45% sparsity (m=6912, n=2560):
MAD path: 9.7M maddubs (~5 cycles each → ~48.6M cycle-equiv)
WHT path: 9.7M cmpeq+and+add (~1 cycle each → ~29.2M cycle-equiv)
Zero weights: 45% skipped entirely (pure no-op in WHT)
Next: Level 3 — Structured WHT (ACDC): O(n log n) GEMV via Fast WHT.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform (zero multiplications, butterfly only): fwht(v): O(n log n) additions/subtractions — no mul ever AVX2 path: 8 floats/cycle (add_ps + sub_ps); NEON: 4 floats/cycle ACDC structured layer: W = H·diag(d)·H acdc_forward(x, d): 2·n·log₂n adds + n muls (irred. minimum) Mathematically verified: acdc_forward(x,d) ≡ W_ACDC·x (err < 1e-16) d* recovery: exact via d = diag(H·W·H)/n² (err ~ 1e-16) Benchmark results (n=512): Speedup vs WHT-ternary: 26.9× Speedup vs fp16: 53.9× BitNet-2B (n=4096): 164× vs L2, 328× vs fp16 Key insight documented: ACDC requires native training (not post-hoc compression). Random ternary W projects to ~1/n energy fraction; ACDC-trained W recovers exactly. Architecture implications in benchmark. Operation budget (30 layers, n=2560): fp16: 393M ops/token → ACDC K=1: 3M ops/token (128× reduction) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implements Level 4 of the CPU-universalization roadmap: replacing
softmax(QKᵀ/√d) with the (max,+) tropical semiring.
Mathematical basis:
lim_{τ→0} softmax(v/τ)[j] = 𝟙[j=argmax(v)]
This IS the tropical matrix product: (A⊗B)[i,k] = max_j(A[i,j]+B[j,k])
At low temperature, Transformer attention degenerates to nearest-neighbor
lookup in the (max,+) semiring — comparisons only, no exp.
Tropical top-K attention algorithm:
1. Tropical max scan over all keys: O(n·d) ternary dot products (0 muls)
2. Partial sort top-K: O(n·log K) comparisons
3. Softmax over K tokens: O(K) exponentials (K<<n)
4. Weighted sum V[topK]: O(K·d) multiply-adds
Speedup vs standard: n/K (for n=2048, K=32: ~64×)
Verified:
- Softmax limit → argmax as τ→0 ✓
- Tropical matrix product (max,+) exact ✓
- Tropical GEMV identity ✓
- cosine_sim(topK, hard) = 0.9746 at τ=0.1 ✓
- BitNet-2B projection: 2147× fewer attention ops/token vs fp16

Implements Level 5 of the CPU-universalization roadmap: replacing Transformer attention O(n²) with associative holographic memory O(n log d). Mathematical foundation (Kanerva 1988, Plate 1994): Binding: a ⊛ b = IRFFT( RFFT(a) ⊙ RFFT(b) ) [circular convolution, O(d log d)] Storage: M = Σᵢ kᵢ ⊛ vᵢ [one vector holds N pairs] Retrieval: ṽⱼ ≈ M ⊛ kⱼ⁻¹ [O(d log d), independent of n] Inverse: a⁻¹ = IRFFT( conj(RFFT(a)) ) [exact for phasor vectors] Algebraic properties verified (all to machine precision): [1] Circular convolution: FFT vs direct def max_diff = 1.67e-16 ✓ [2] Identity element: δ ⊛ a = a max_diff = 6.25e-17 ✓ [3] Commutativity: a ⊛ b = b ⊛ a max_diff = 5.55e-17 ✓ [4] Associativity: (a⊛b)⊛c = a⊛(b⊛c) max_diff = 1.11e-16 ✓ [5] Phasor inverse: p ⊛ p⁻¹ = δ error = 4.41e-16 ✓ (exact) [6] Theoretical speedup: 2048 tokens → 399,458× retrieve ops vs standard attn Operating regime: d ≥ 10·N for reliable retrieval (SNR > 10); phasor keys give exact inverse vs approx for Gaussian random keys.

Add bitnet_math OBJECT library (src/CMakeLists.txt) compiling all four math research kernels (WHT/FWHT/Tropical/HRR) with AVX2 flags on x86_64 and NEON on ARM64. Link it into the ggml target after the llama.cpp submodule is processed (root CMakeLists.txt). Add include/bitnet-lut-kernels.h stub so cmake configure succeeds without running the codegen pipeline first; #error guards surface the missing step when TL1/TL2 are explicitly enabled. Update CLAUDE.md: build verified, Ubuntu 24.04 stdlib workaround documented. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
L2 (WHT) — patched into ggml_vec_dot_i2_i8_s: Zero-multiplication ternary dot product replaces maddubs path. Returns (true_dot + sum_vy) for MAD-compatibility with ggml.c dequantization: result = (val - act_sums) / act_scales × w_scale. New helpers: ggml_wht_raw_dot, ggml_wht_sum_i8 (AVX2 + NEON + scalar). L3/L4/L5 — registered as ggml_map_custom ops (ggml-bitnet-dispatch.cpp): bitnet_op_acdc(ctx, x, d) → ACDC y = H(d⊙(Hx)) bitnet_op_tropical_attn(ctx, q, k, v, K, s) → tropical attention top-K bitnet_op_hrr_attn(ctx, q, k, v) → HRR circular-conv attention Custom ops compiled into bitnet_math OBJECT library (linked into ggml). Symbols callable from any binary that links ggml without extra flags. Build verified: bitnet_math (5 files) + ggml target both build clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…llama.cpp helper Nível 3 (FWHT + ACDC O(n log n)) agora tem caminho real no dispatch do llama.cpp, fechando o último sub-caminho do Plano F (matriz 6/7 no scout). Adições: - bitnet_op_acdc_gemv em include/ggml-bitnet-dispatch.h e src/ggml-bitnet-dispatch.cpp: wrapper via ggml_map_custom1 com userdata carregando m, n, K, n_orig, buffers D/proj/x_i8 (lazy init). - acdc_gemv_init_buffers: proj como identidade parcial (top-m de K*n), D=zeros (placeholder; modelo não treinado com ACDC — P6 não validado). - acdc_gemv_callback: quantização int8 per-row + matmul ACDC + soma parcial + clipping, ~310MB static mem alocada uma vez. - llm_build_ffn_acdc_bitnet em 3rdparty/llama.cpp/src/llama.cpp:9657-9713 substitui dense up+down por acdc_gemv (K=2 up, K=1 down). - Branch BITNET_ACDC_FFN=1 em 3rdparty/llama.cpp/src/llama.cpp:11222: ativa o caminho ACDC no call site BitNet-específico (não toca outros 25+ modelos). - #if guard estendido para incluir BITNET_L3_ACDC no include do ggml-bitnet-dispatch.h (3rdparty/llama.cpp/src/llama.cpp:31-33). - Fix em src/ggml-bitnet-tropical.cpp: clamp K_top a n_keys para evitar crash em early-decode (partial_sort requerendo middle ≤ last). Validação: - Compila com -DBITNET_L2_WHT=L3_ACDC=L4_TROPICAL=L5_HRR=ON. - Smoke test: 5.04 tok/s vs 4.92 tok/s baseline (+2.4%); output garbage esperado (P6 placeholder, sem retreino ACDC). - Combina com L4 tropical: 4.37 tok/s (topk=32); com L4+L5: 4.61 tok/s (L4 wins via else if chain).

Kernel L5 (HRR) ganha o algoritmo iterativo de cleanup que faltava
para usar HRR em produção quando N > d/10. Modos:
NAIVE (M=NULL): single nearest-codebook projection
RESIDUAL (M!=NULL): Frady 2021 — itera unbind(M_t, k_inv), projet a
codebook, subtrai k⊛c do M, repete até convergir.
Acumula o output: out = sum_{t} codebook[idx_t].
Mudanças:
- include/ggml-bitnet-hrr.h: declaração de hrr_cleanup_iter com
docstring de 28 linhas explicando os modos, contrato de scratch
(3*(d+2) + d floats) e SNR esperado por regime d/N.
- src/ggml-bitnet-hrr.cpp: reescrita de complex_multiply_spectrum
usando _mm256_fmaddsub_ps (código mais limpo, mesmo resultado;
refactor feito durante debug de heap corruption no test).
- src/ggml-bitnet-hrr.cpp: impl de hrr_cleanup_iter com lambda
nearest, branch RESIDUAL com pseudoinverse pré-computada +
re-unbind a cada iter + acumulação, branch NAIVE single-shot.
Bug fix crítico durante implementação: loop original chamava
hrr_cleanup_step (que faz memcpy(out, codebook[idx])) a cada iter,
substituindo o acumulado. Corrigido para acumular via +=.
Validação: test_hrr_cleanup.cpp (commit seguinte) 5/5 PASS, cos_sim
NAIVE = 1.00 com d=1024, N=32 (cruz-valida Python
hrr_benchmark.py --cleanup). Cumprimento P3 hierarquia de custo.

…nel unit test
Suite mínima de validação para hrr_cleanup_iter + kernels básicos.
Cada teste printa seu delta numérico e marca PASS/FAIL; total runtime
~1ms com -O3.
Testes:
[1] FFT roundtrip identity (d=128)
max|RFFT(IRFFT(x)) - x| = 2.24e-07 (PASS, limite FP)
[2] hrr_bind vs circular_conv (d=64)
max|bind(a,b) - circular_conv(a,b)| = 2.09e-07 (PASS)
[3] hrr_pseudoinverse: phasor exact inverse (d=128)
max|p⊛p_inv - δ| = 2.26e-06 (PASS; só funciona com phasor de
magnitude unitária em todo o espectro)
[4] hrr_cleanup_iter RESIDUAL (d=1024, N=32)
raw cos_sim 0.166 → chosen=idx 0, NAIVE projection cos_sim 1.00
(PASS; algoritmo identifica V_0 como sinal dominante)
[5] hrr_cleanup_iter NAIVE (d=256, N=16)
cos_sim(cleaned, V_0) = 1.00 (PASS, idx=0)
Bug fixes capturados pelos testes:
- random_phasor_vector original forçava |DC|=cos, |Nyq|=sin,
quebrando magnitude unitária. Corrigido para ±1.
- hrr_cleanup_step com memcpy(out, codebook[idx], ...) substituía
acumulado a cada iter do RESIDUAL. Corrigido para acumular.
- hrr_pseudoinverse + hrr_bind no mesmo scratch de tamanho
2*(d+2) crashava com heap corruption (hrr_bind precisa 3*(d+2)).
Alocação consertada nos testes.

The wht_dot_avx2 kernel had group labels g0..g3 inverted relative to the library's own unpack_i2s_block. Bits [7:6] of each packed byte represent group 0 (positions 0..31), not group 3. The AVX2 path was extracting the bits in reverse, giving wrong results on all 5 test cases. After the fix and a bit-strided pack/unpack helper, test_wht (validates 5 subtests against a hand-rolled reference) passes 5/5: [1] ggml_wht_raw_dot: diff=0 (WHT_RAW) [2] ggml_wht_sum_i8: diff=0 (SIMD sum) [3] ggml_wht_verify: match (library's own internal check) [4] ggml_vec_dot_wht_ternary: diff=0 [5] ggml_gemv_wht_ternary: diff=0 (m=4 rows) The bit assignment in pack_ternary_i2s is also corrected to match: weight i → byte (i % 32), shift (3 - (i/32) % 4) * 2.
acdc_forward_i8 was applying a 1/n² factor (divided twice by n) that violated the spec in CLAUDE.md: Level 3 kernel: acdc_forward(x, d) = H·(d⊙(H·x)), UNNORMALIZED — no 1/n² factors. The diagonal d absorbs the scale when learned during training (P6). The projection formula acdc_project is the only place that needs 1/n², and that one was already correct. Test [4] (acdc_project) expectation was also fixed: for W = I, diag(H·I·H)/n² = n/n² = 1/n, not 1. The Hadamard matrix is self-symmetric and orthogonal up to n, so H·I·H = n·I. test_acdc validates 5 subtests against hand-rolled references and passes 5/5: [1] fwht_f32: diff=0 (butterfly vs ref Hadamard) [2] fwht_i8_to_i32: diff=0 (sign-extend + butterfly) [3] acdc_forward_i8: diff=0 (H·diag(d)·H·x) [4] acdc_project: diff=0 (d*[k] = 1/n for W=I) [5] acdc_gemv: diff=0 (K=2 stacked blocks)
The previous test_tropical.cpp had 6 compilation errors:
- quantize_f32_to_i8_ref was called with std::vector<int8_t>
(passed a vector, not a pointer)
- tropical_attn_argmax was called with extra q_scale/k_scale
(the real signature is just q, K, n_keys, head_dim)
- tropical_gemv was called with (y, W, x, m, n) but the real
signature is (argmax_out, max_out, A, x, m, n) — separate
output buffers for the argmax index and the max value
Rewritten from scratch with the actual API, plus the test fixtures
match what dispatch uses in production. All 5 subtests pass:
[1] argmax: best=2 ref=2
[2] topk: top-3 indices match partial_sort reference
[3] attn: diff=0 (softmax·V on top-K keys)
[4] gemv: diff=0 (max-plus with separate argmax_out)
[5] zero_k: finite output (K=10 > n_keys=3, clamped)
tests/CMakeLists.txt now registers 4 ctest targets, one per math kernel level (L2-L5). Each compiles ONLY the kernel source it needs (plus the test file) to keep tests self-contained and avoid pulling in ggml-bitnet-dispatch.cpp which references ggml symbols not available outside the llama.cpp build. The bitnet_test_set_simd_flags() helper centralizes the per-arch SIMD flag logic (-mavx2 -mfma on x86_64, -march=armv8-a+simd on aarch64) and the libm link on UNIX/!APPLE. .github/workflows/ci.yml updated to build and run all 4 tests in a single cmake --build + ctest step (was only test_hrr_cleanup). .gitignore: add build_tests/ to skip the local quick-iteration build directory (the actual build/ remains for the full cmake build). ctest output locally: 1/4 Test microsoft#1: test_wht ...........

…4 test suites) Inventory, gap-analysis, principle-code-map, and continuity-proposals updated to reflect the work done since the previous scout snapshot (commit 129557d): - 14 commits across two main sessions (L3 ACDC FFN dispatch + L5 HRR Frady 2021 cleanup end-to-end) - 4 standalone C++ unit test files (test_wht, test_acdc, test_tropical, test_hrr_cleanup) — 20/20 PASS - 2 real bugs found and fixed in the kernel code: * wht_dot_avx2 had g0..g3 labels inverted relative to the library's own unpack_i2s_block (the library's internal ggml_wht_verify was also failing — bug was latent) * acdc_forward_i8 had a stray 1/n² normalization that violated the spec in CLAUDE.md (d absorbs the scale when learned during training, not post-hoc) - GitHub Actions CI minimum (ubuntu-24.04 + clang-18 + libstdc++-14-dev + ctest) on every push and PR - Caminho A (HRR complete) and Caminho B (dispatch integration) now BOTH 100% — only Caminho C (P6 retraining) remains Continuity-proposals.md 'Recomendação Default' rewritten: the remaining action items shift from 'integrate L5 cleanup' (now done) to 'DRY refactor L2/L3/L5 butterflies' and 'systematic smoke benchmark across all 4 levels'.
The scout proposal to 'extract a shared butterfly across L2/L3/L5'
turned out to be a misconception after reading the actual code:
- L2 WHT (src/ggml-bitnet-wht.cpp): NOT a butterfly. It's a
selection-mask algorithm on I2_S packed bytes, with zero
multiplications. Cannot share an abstraction with L3/L5.
- L3 FWHT (src/ggml-bitnet-fwht.cpp): In-order Cooley-Tukey
radix-2, real-valued, twiddles always ±1 (Hadamard).
- L5 FFT (src/ggml-bitnet-hrr.cpp): Cooley-Tukey radix-2 DIF,
complex-valued, twiddles exp(−2πi·k/N), bit-reversal permutation.
Forcing a shared butterfly API would obscure the math. The only
genuine duplication was the 'smallest power of 2 ≥ n' utility
(fwht_next_pow2 in fwht.cpp:74 and hrr_next_pow2 in hrr.cpp:74 were
near-identical).
This commit extracts bitnet_next_pow2 to a new shared header pair
(include/ggml-bitnet-common.h + src/ggml-bitnet-common.cpp) and
keeps fwht_next_pow2 + hrr_next_pow2 as extern 'C' thin wrappers
defined in the common file (for backward API compat).
The new include/ggml-bitnet-common.h contains an extensive comment
documenting the algorithm taxonomy (L2/L3/L5 do NOT share a butterfly)
so future agents don't make the same 'extract a butterfly' mistake.
New test suite test_bitnet_common.cpp (5/5 PASS):
[1] bitnet_next_pow2: 18/18 cases (incl. BitNet FFN dims 2560, 6912)
[2] aliases: fwht/hrr/bitnet agree for n=1..100
[3] edge cases: n=0/1/-1/-100 all → 1
[4] structural: NO butterfly in common.h (guard against future API drift)
[5] power-of-2 inputs: all 17 values in [1, 65536] unchanged
Total ctest: 5/5 suites, 25/25 subtests, 0.04s.
New test_hrr_attention.cpp (5/5 PASS) validates the kernel that bitnet_op_hrr_attn and bitnet_op_hrr_attn_with_cleanup invoke from the dispatch. A regression here would silently corrupt L5 attention in the entire inference pipeline — the kernel-level test_hrr_cleanup (commits 30ab330, a884036) covers the FFT/bind/cleanup primitives, but not the high-level hrr_attention_full(Q, K, K_tern, V) entry point that the dispatch uses. Tests: [1] single_query: output finite, all slots written [2] multi_query: n_q=3 batch == three n_q=1 calls (no cross-talk) [3] phasor_keys: cos_sim scales as ~1/N (theoretical SNR bound) [4] gaussian_keys: d=128, N=8 — finite, cos_sim in (0.3, 0.6) [5] consistency: hrr_attention_full == hrr_attention_build + hrr_attention_retrieve (split call) Bug found + fixed in the test fixture (not the kernel): - test [2] initially passed float K to the batch call and nullptr to the single call, which made the kernel use two different M paths (hrr_accumulate vs hrr_accumulate_ternary). Diff was 602. Fixed by passing nullptr in both calls. - test [3] initially expected cos_sim > 0.9, which is wrong for ±1 ternary keys (theoretical ~1/N = 0.25 for N=4). Threshold relaxed to (0.15, 0.5) with documentation pointing to Frady 2021 for true phasor (complex exponential) keys. Total ctest: 6/6 suites, 30/30 subtests, 0.05s.
…e tests New utils/cpu_universal_benchmark.py runs run_inference.py with each kernel level enabled (via env vars) and emits a markdown table with tok/s and relative delta vs L1 baseline. Unlike utils/e2e_benchmark.py (which uses llama-bench and only measures the default L1 kernel), this script exercises the per-level dispatch: L1 baseline (no env var, default I2_S GEMV + L2 WHT patched in vec_dot) L3 ACDC FFN (env BITNET_ACDC_FFN=1) L4 Tropical top-K (env BITNET_TROPICAL_TOPK=32) L5 HRR raw (env BITNET_HRR_ATTN=1, BITNET_HRR_ATTN_CLEANUP=0) L5 HRR + cleanup (env BITNET_HRR_ATTN=1, BITNET_HRR_ATTN_CLEANUP=8) Result (BitNet-2B, prompt 'The capital of France is', n=32, t=4): L1 baseline 4.97 tok/s (+0.0%) L3 ACDC FFN 4.83 tok/s (-2.8%) L4 Tropical top-K=32 4.60 tok/s (-7.4%) L5 HRR raw 1.85 tok/s (-62.8%) [FFT overhead dominates head_dim=128] L5 HRR + cleanup 8 1.87 tok/s (-62.4%) L3-L5 show no speedup over L1 with this model because the model was NOT trained with ACDC/HRR/tropical architectures (P6 unvalidated, see docs/theory/03-acdc-structured-layers.md). Output is garbage for L3/L5, expected. The numbers establish a reproducible baseline for future retraining experiments (Caminho C). Bug fixed: initial regex 'tokens per second' matched the prompt-eval line instead of the eval-time line (the prompt-eval rate is the prompt processing rate, not the generation rate). Fixed to use the LAST 'tokens per second' match in the output (which is always the overall generation rate).
Final scout update reflecting v0.1.0-cpu-universal release candidate: - 18 commits since fork (129557d..3f8166a) - 6/6 ctest suites, 30/30 subtests, 0.05s - 2 bugs found + fixed in kernel code (WHT g0/g3, ACDC 1/n²) - cpu_universal_benchmark.py reproduces L1-L5 smoke table - DRY refactor revealed L2/L3/L5 do NOT share a butterfly (L2 = selection mask, L3 = real in-place, L5 = complex DIF) P6 retraining (Caminho C) remains the only gap for closing the CPU-Universal thesis empirically.
…merge-dev O fork upstream Eddie-Wang1120/llama.cpp reescreveu a branch merge-dev (force-push) entre esta sessão e a anterior, tornando os commits 707f316 (L3 ACDC dispatch) e 3dfc2df (L5 HRR cleanup dispatch) órfãos. Eles existem no object DB local mas não são acessíveis em nenhuma ref remota, quebrando clones fresh no CI com: Error: fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref 3dfc2dfa4e5f54810fcfeee362c1f2aa86aeb3da Solução: - patches/llama.cpp/01-L3-ACDC-FFN-dispatch.patch (162 linhas, src/llama.cpp) - patches/llama.cpp/02-L5-HRR-cleanup-dispatch.patch (16 linhas, src/llama.cpp) - scripts/apply-dispatch-patches.sh (idempotente, com sentinelas) - Submodule pointer atualizado: 3dfc2df → 1f86f05 (merge-dev tip) - .github/workflows/ci.yml invoca o script após submodule init Aplicação: - L3 primeiro (L5 depende do guard #if que L3 adiciona) - Ambos testados: aplicam limpos em 1f86f05 (upstream merge-dev tip) - Build verificado: 100% compilado, 6/6 ctest PASS em 0.05s - Idempotente: detecta aplicação prévia via grep em sentinelas Arquivos não tocados (imutáveis por CLAUDE.md): - _reversa_sdd/session-2025-06-05-tropical-attn.md (untracked, ignored)
Previously all three callbacks (tropical, hrr, hrr_cleanup) ran with n_tasks=1, forcing single-threaded execution even with -t 4. The fix: - n_tasks=1 → GGML_N_TASKS_MAX in all three ggml_map_custom3 calls - Remove `if (ith != 0) return` guard - Head loop: `for h in range(n_head)` → `for h in range(ith, n_head, nth)` - Per-thread scratch buffers (malloc/free per callback invocation) Benchmark with 136-token context, -t 4, n=32 (vs previous SESSION_SUMMARY): L4 Tropical K=32 : -7.4% → -0.9% (within measurement noise of standard) L5 HRR raw : -62.8% → -33.1% (2× improvement) L5 HRR + cleanup : -62.4% → -39.6% The remaining HRR gap reflects FFT cost per head (O(d log d) per token), not thread underutilization. Tropical is now at parity with flash_attn. Also add utils/tropical_sweep.py to characterize K × n_kv throughput. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

O submodule estava marcado como '-dirty' (modificações locais não commitadas). Reset para o commit público 1f86f05 limpo. O patch 05-ACDC-rect-LLaMA.patch continua sendo aplicado via apply-dispatch-patches.sh no CI (idempotente).
…it status O apply-dispatch-patches.sh aplica o patch 05 via 'git apply' no working tree do submodule (sem commitar). Isso fazia 3rdparty/llama.cpp aparecer permanentemente como 'modified' no git status do repo pai. Solução padrão para projetos que mantêm patches locais sobre submodules: ignore = dirty O ponteiro do submodule permanece em 1f86f05 (commit público). O CI aplica o patch em tempo de build; o repo pai ignora alterações de working tree dentro do submodule.

Add L1–L5 algebraic kernels for CPU-only 1.58-bit inference
Why this fork exists
microsoft/BitNetproves that 1.58-bit (ternary) LLMs can run fast onmodern CPUs. This fork answers a different question: how far can
we push CPU universality? We treat inference as a numerical problem
on a closed algebraic structure (ternary weights {−1, 0, +1}) and
exploit four forgotten algebraic structures that drop multiplications
or move work to a different basis:
ggml-bitnet-wht.cppvec_dotggml-bitnet-fwht.cppggml-bitnet-tropical.cppggml-bitnet-hrr.cppEach kernel is opt-in via an environment variable. The default
inference path (I2_S GEMV) is untouched — existing users see no
behavioral change.
