5 trits fit into 1 byte pretty well, since 3^5 = 243 is just under 2^8 = 256. That should be called an 8/5 = 1.6 bit model though, while the paper names it 1.5

That should be called an 8/5 = 1.6 bit model though, while the paper names it 1.58 bit, closer to log_2(3) ~ 1.5849625
- JKCalhoun 3y agoWould be nice to have hardware instructions that work on 5 tris natively.
- londons_explore 3y agoBut the decoder for that will be 25+ gates, which is huge compared to the handful of gates to use the resulting weights.
