Now you can run 27B on a 16GB Mac. The new Tranary27B released by PrismML has 98% of the performance of the base model. It even works on my M1 Macbook Air 16GB, which I bought about 5 years ago!
Local LLMs are evolving to be smarter and more compact.
Today, we’re announcing Ternary Bonsai 2 27B.
Based on Qwen3.8 27B, Bonsai 2 27B is 9x smaller than its full-precision counterpart while retaining 98.2% of its aggregate benchmark performance.
Two months after the first Bonsai 27B release, the biggest change is quality. The footprint remains 5.9 GB, but the gap to full precision has narrowed materially, with particularly strong gains in agentic coding, multimodal reasoning, and long-horizon tool use.
Ternary Bonsai 2 27B is available today under Apache 2.0.
