Streaming live now (2:10 Pacific, 5:10 EST on Thursday, February 5, 2026), Claude Code is iteratively improving its reference bitnet implementation.[1] It previously successfully ported Bitnet from C++ and Python to its own implementation in Javascript and WASM. (It also ported it to webGPU, however it doesn't work on my computer with my GPU, and it's running on a server without a GPU at the moment, so I'm not sure if it works or not.)
Its implementation diverges from the reference implementation though, even with the same model file, and is qualitatively worse, so now it is iteratively improving its own implementation, until it matches the reference implementation.
This livestream is historically important and significant because Claude Code has been set to code completely autonomously for about ten hours. If you're wondering what it's like to watch Claude Code code in February 2026, this video can give you a good idea. (Most people code with it in an interactive session rather than asking it to work autonomously.)
It will be a very significant and important video in ten years, when we can look back at the State of the Art in 2026.
Here is its working implementation which is its baseline and starting point.[2]
