PrismML launches Bonsai 2 27B, a high-intelligence AI model so small it fits on consumer hardware

SiliconANGLE4 min read

Prism ML Inc. announced Thursday the launch of Bonsai 2 27B, the second generation of its ultra-compact multimodal generative artificial intelligence small enough to fit on PCs and some high-end mobile devices. The company said it used ternary, which uses three parts, to scale down its Qwen3.8 27B-based model. Qwen3.8 weighs in at about 56 […] The post PrismML launches Bonsai 2 27B, a high-intelligence AI model so small it fits on consumer hardware appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Prism ML Inc. announced Thursday the launch of Bonsai 2 27B, the second generation of its ultra-compact multimodal generative artificial intelligence small enough to fit on PCs and some high-end mobile devices. The company said it used ternary, which uses three parts, to scale down its Qwen3.8 27B-based model. Qwen3.8 weighs around 56 gigabytes at its full 16-bit uncompressed size, and Bonsai 2 reduces it to…
