On CPU, training speed is dominated by MKL BLAS — raw ternary matmul is not faster than FP32 at small-to-medium sizes. The real wins are: (1) 16× less RAM enabling larger models on limited hardware, (2) 16× less memory bandwidth for large models where DRAM is the bottleneck, (3) MeZO eliminates the backward pass entirely (2× forward only). Inference post-training uses LUT-based kernels (T-MAC, bitnet.cpp) for true speedup. v5.3 adds 7 stacked paradigms that target the training loop itself for multiplicative speedup.",
