Outline
Jump quickly between sections.
BitCPM-CANN is China’s first ternary (1.58-bit) large model fully trained and open-sourced on a domestic computing platform (Huawei Ascend).
Uses 1.58-bit ternary quantization and completes end-to-end training natively on the Ascend platform.
Achieves ~6x memory saving during inference compared to BF16 while maintaining 90%–97.2% model retention rate.
Built upon MindSpeed × Megatron-LM for a complete low-bit training infrastructure tailored for Ascend.
Comes in four versions (0.5B, 1B, 3B, 8B), now open-sourced on HuggingFace and ModelScope.

FaceWall Intelligence Collaborates with Tsinghua University and Others to Open Source China's First 1.58-bit Edge-side Large Model Trained on Huawei Ascend: BitCPM-CANN
May 25, 2026 11:48:30 Source: IT Home Author: Qincang (Intern) Editor: Qincang
IT Home May 25 News - FaceWall Intelligence, in collaboration with Tsinghua University and the OpenBMB open-source community, today officially released and open-sourced their latest achievement in low-bit large model training - BitCPM-CANN.
According to official statements, this is China's first ternary (1.58-bit) large model that is completely trained end-to-end and open-sourced based on a domestic computing platform (Huawei Ascend). From quantization operators, training algorithms to the full-link framework, BitCPM-CANN was natively completed on Huawei Ascend, including four model sizes of 0.5B, 1B, 3B, and 8B. Compared with the same-size MiniCPM4 full-precision family through item-by-item evaluation, it demonstrates excellent performance.

Compared to traditional BF16 precision, BitCPM-CANN releases approximately 6 times memory benefits during inference while maintaining model capability retention rate at 90%-97.2%.

According to officials, for the mobile phone industry, 6 times memory benefits mean that an 8B parameter BitCPM-CANN large model can easily run on current mainstream flagship phones.
In addition, FaceWall Intelligence has built a complete low-bit training infrastructure based on the MindSpeed × Megatron-LM backbone, including environment adaptation, 32K long sequence support, parallel strategies, fused operators, and other complete engineering systems. From now on, all low-bit training work targeting Ascend can be built on the same set of public infrastructure.
The full series of BitCPM-CANN 0.5B / 1B / 3B / 8B model weights are now open-sourced. IT Home provides the links below:
