# BitNet E2E Test Report
2+
3+
## Test Date
4+
2025-02-04
5+
6+
## Hardware
7+
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB)
8+
- CPU: AMD EPYC 7B13 64-Core Processor
9+
- RAM: 1TB
10+
11+
## Model
12+
- Name: BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T
13+
- Source: microsoft/bitnet-b1.58-2B-4T-gguf
14+
- Quantization: I2_S (2-bit ternary)
15+
- Size: 1.10 GiB (3.91 BPW)
16+
- Parameters: 2.41B
17+
18+
## Build Configuration
19+
- Framework: bitnet.cpp (llama.cpp fork)
20+
- Build: Release with TL2 optimization for x86
21+
- Compiler: Ubuntu clang 14.0.0
22+
23+
## Test Results
24+
25+
### Benchmark (llama-bench)
26+
| Test | Threads | Tokens/sec |
27+
|------|---------|------------|
28+
| pp64 | 64 | 1.88 ± 0.33 |
29+
30+
### Generation Tests
31+
32+
**Test 1: Simple completion**
33+
- Prompt: "Hello, I am a 1-bit language model called BitNet. I can"
34+
- Output: "understand and respond to"
35+
- Time: ~2 minutes for 30 tokens
36+
- Speed: ~0.25 tok/s
37+
38+
**Test 2: Technical explanation**
39+
- Prompt: "Explain what makes BitNet special compared to traditional neural networks:"
40+
- Output: "1) more efficient in"
41+
- Coherent: YES
42+
43+
**Test 3: AI future**
44+
- Prompt: "The future of artificial intelligence is"
45+
- Output: "both fascinating and frightening" / "exciting. It is"
46+
- Coherent: YES
47+
48+
## Observations
49+
50+
1. **Model loads successfully** - All 332 tensors loaded correctly
51+
2. **Generation is coherent** - Output makes semantic sense
52+
3. **Speed is slow on CPU** - ~0.25-1.88 tok/s depending on batch size
53+
4. **GPU offload not working** - i2_s quantization requires CPU-only inference
54+
5. **Tokenizer warnings** - Pre-tokenizer type missing, but generation works
55+
56+
## Conclusion
57+
58+
✅ BitNet E2E test PASSED
59+
- Model loads and generates coherent text
60+
- 1-bit quantization working correctly
61+
- Performance limited by CPU-only inference (no GPU support for i2_s)
62+
63+
## Recommendations
64+
65+
1. Use ARM CPU with TL1 kernel for better performance
66+
2. Wait for GPU kernel support for i2_s quantization
67+
3. Consider using smaller batch sizes for interactive use

# RunPod Workflow - Large Model Testing
2+
3+
**Date:** February 4, 2026
4+
**Rule:** ALL large model tests (7B+) run ONLY on RunPod
5+
6+
---
7+
8+
## Why This Workflow?
9+
10+
| Environment | RAM | Issue |
11+
|-------------|-----|-------|
12+
| Gitpod | 4-8 GB | OOM on 2B+ models |
13+
| Local | 8-16 GB | OOM on 7B+ models |
14+
| **RunPod** | **32-500 GB** | **No OOM** |
15+
16+
**Problem:** Downloading large models locally causes OOM, wasted time, and repeated failures.
17+
18+
**Solution:** Download and test models directly on RunPod pods.
19+
20+
---
21+
22+
## Workflow Rules
23+
24+
### DO
25+
1. Launch RunPod pod FIRST
26+
2. Download models INSIDE pod
27+
3. Run all tests INSIDE pod
28+
4. Save results to docs/
29+
5. Stop pod when done
30+
31+
### DON'T
32+
1. Download large models to Gitpod
33+
2. Try to run 7B+ models locally
34+
3. Leave pods running overnight
35+
36+
---
37+
38+
## Cost Control
39+
40+
| GPU | $/hour | Max session |
41+
|-----|--------|-------------|
42+
| RTX 4090 | $0.34 | 2 hours |
43+
| L40S | $0.59 | 1 hour |
44+
| A100 | $1.19 | 30 min |
45+
46+
**Budget rule:** Stop pod immediately after tests.
47+
48+
---
49+
50+
## Quick Commands
51+
52+
```bash
53+
# Launch pod
54+
curl -s "https://api.runpod.io/graphql" \
55+
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNPOD_TOKEN" \
56+
-d '{"query": "mutation { podFindAndDeployOnDemand(...) }"}'
57+
58+
# SSH into pod
59+
ssh -i ~/.ssh/runpod_key root@IP -p PORT
60+
61+
# Inside pod: download model
62+
huggingface-cli download microsoft/bitnet-b1.58-2B-4T-gguf
63+
64+
# Inside pod: run test
65+
./llama-cli -m model.gguf -p "Hello" -n 100
66+
67+
# Stop pod
68+
curl -s "https://api.runpod.io/graphql" \
69+
-d '{"query": "mutation { podStop(input: { podId: \"ID\" }) }"}'
70+
```
71+
72+

73+
74+
## Checklist Before Large Model Test
75+
76+
- [ ] Check RunPod balance (need $1+ for safety)
77+
- [ ] Launch pod with sufficient RAM (32GB+ for 7B)
78+
- [ ] Download model INSIDE pod
79+
- [ ] Run tests INSIDE pod
80+
- [ ] Save results
81+
- [ ] Stop pod
82+
