Feature Request: Create an official Discord server for the BitNet community
Description
Hi team,
BitNet b1.58 and bitnet.cpp are getting a lot of interest from the community, especially among people who run models on CPU, edge devices, and those who want to try Falcon3-10B 1.58-bit, other ternary models, Open WebUI integration, etc.
Right now there is no official Discord server from Microsoft.
People are scattered across:
- GitHub Discussions
- r/LocalLLaMA
- random unofficial Discords (kyegomez, some YouTube creators, etc.)
It would be very helpful to have one official Discord where we can:
- Ask quick questions about building bitnet.cpp
- Share working GGUF files for new 1.58-bit models (Falcon, future bigger models, etc.)
- Discuss integration with Open WebUI, LM Studio, SillyTavern
- Report bugs and share performance results on different hardware
- Coordinate community contributions
Would Microsoft consider creating an official Discord server for the BitNet project?
Thank you!
