Could you build this?
No Implementing a 1.58-bit ternary quantization transformer architecture and training it from scratch in pure C# without ML frameworks requires deep knowledge of low-level machine learning algorithms and custom tensor mathematics.
What it would actually take: Requires expertise in numerical computing and machine learning research. Building it entails writing a custom auto-differentiation engine, implementing BitNet-specific ternary quantization (-1, 0, +1) with Straight-Through Estimators (STE) in C#, managing custom memory layouts and CPU SIMD instructions (AVX/NEON) for efficient ternary matrix multiplication, and tuning convergence without external ML libraries.
