Microsoft opens bitnet.cpp for 1-bit CPU inference, Google DeepMind partners with Boston Dynamics
Microsoft has open-sourced bitnet.cpp code for 1-bit CPU inference that promises significant speed and energy gains. Meanwhile, Google DeepMind and Boston Dynamics are partnering on Gemini Robotics based on Atlas hardware. The concept of agentic coding is gaining traction with a focus on human oversight and Agent Harnesses for managing long-running AI tasks.
WHY IT MATTERS
1-bit inference is key technology for running models on resource-constrained devices and lowers the barrier to AI adoption. The robotics partnership signals that major AI players are doubling down on embodied AI as the next step beyond chat-based systems.
