PrismML Ships Bonsai 27B — a 1-bit Variant at 3.9GB That Keeps Multimodal and Agentic Capability, Apache 2.0

Latent Space (AINews) / PrismML·medium signal

PrismML released Bonsai 27B in ultra-compact quantized variants — a Ternary build at 5.9GB and a 1-bit build at just 3.9GB — while claiming preserved multimodal and agentic capability, all under an Apache 2.0 license. That footprint puts a genuinely agent-capable model within reach of consumer hardware and edge deployment. For local-first builders (r/LocalLLaMA territory), a 3.9GB agentic model with a permissive license is a meaningful shift in what's runnable off-cloud.
