Google Research has released the TurboQuant quantization compression algorithm, which can compress the KV cache of large language models to 3 bits, reducing memory usage by 6x and improving computational speed by 8x. The algorithm demonstrates excellent performance across multiple benchmark tests and aims to address model caching bottlenecks. It will be published at ICLR 2026.

Google Research has released the TurboQuant algorithm, which can compress the KV cache of large language models to 3 bits, reducing memory usage by at least 6 times while maintaining accuracy without requiring training. The algorithm optimizes traditional quantization through two sub-algorithms: PolarQuant and QJL. Testing shows excellent performance across multiple long-context benchmarks.

BIT (formerly Matrixport) points out that gold prices pulling back to $4,400 may attract buying interest, with support at $3,500. Although rising real rates pose short-term pressure on gold prices, in the medium to long term, sovereign debt expansion and geopolitical tensions will continue to support gold demand.

Matrixport has rebranded to BIT, expanding its services in digital finance, including custody and trading. Users' accounts remain unaffected. The company manages over $6 billion in assets and operates in seven countries with multiple licenses.

Gate News report: On March 17, Tether's QVAC Fabric launched the world's first cross-platform LoRA fine-tuning framework for Microsoft BitNet (1-bit LLM), significantly lowering the VRAM and computational thresholds for large model training. The framework supports LoRA fine-tuning and inference acceleration on Intel, AMD, Apple Silicon M series, and mobile GPUs (including Adreno, Mali, and Apple Bionic).

Gate News Report, March 6 — The fifth-largest Ethereum treasury company, Bit Digital (BTBT), released an holdings update. As of February 28, 2026, the company's Ethereum holdings increased to 155,434.4 ETH, valued at approximately $305.4 million, with an average purchase price of $3,045. By the end of February, BTBT had staked a total of 138,269.6 ETH, accounting for about 89% of its total holdings, generating approximately 313.9 ETH in staking rewards.

ChainCatcher News, according to PRNewswire, the Nasdaq-listed Ethereum treasury company Bit Digital released a holdings update report. As of today, the company's Ethereum holdings have increased to 155,434.4 ETH, valued at approximately $305.4 million, with an average purchase price of $3,045. Additionally, the company disclosed that as of today, a total of 138,2696 ETH have been staked, accounting for about 89% of its total holdings, generating approximately 313.9 ETH in staking rewards.

Bit Digital CEO Sam Tabar stated that recent Ethereum market conditions resemble a "value reset," with market leverage rapidly re-evaluating after a significant increase, leading to increased volatility. Currently, the price remains stable in the $1800 to $2100 range, with fundamentals unchanged. This event demonstrates how leverage can distort the market, but Ethereum's long-term value remains solid.
