Today, we’re releasing Bonsai 2 2B, 4B, and 9B.
Based on Qwen3.5, these new ternary models bring stronger reasoning, visual understanding, and tool calling to compact footprints designed for everyday devices:
• 2B: 0.43GB
• 4B: 0.95GB
• 9B: 2.0GB
For this release, we focused on what makes small models useful as local assistants: following instructions, avoiding repetitive loops, calling tools on mobile devices, and giving useful answers without unnecessary output. The 9B model uses roughly 40% fewer tokens on standard instruction-following and everyday math tasks. Solving the Riemann hypothesis can wait.
These models are successors to our first-generation Bonsai 1.7B, 4B, and 8B, and provide a foundation for bringing practical agentic functionality to local applications on personal computers, phones, and wearables.
The Bonsai 2 family now includes four sizes spanning 2B to 27B parameters. Developers can choose the balance of capability, memory use, and responsiveness that fits their application and hardware.
Available today under Apache 2.0.
Late stage MAGA is so disgusting and unrecognizable to me, and I find this shocking as one who attended more Trump rallies than I can count.
A woman with a “Release The Epstein Files” shirt stands at a Trump rally shouting at Trump to release the Epstein files and gets physically beaten by the MAGA men around her, who probably call themselves Christians.
Then our obese President makes fun of her calling her “fat” and “him” claiming she’s a paid protestor.
She got thrown out and the men who attacked her got to stay.
MAGA rallies used to be filled with people who agreed with releasing the Epstein files, defended women, and would step in if a woman was attacked.
Now the dying remnant of MAGA is made up of people who emulate their cult leader.
Attacking women, making fun of their looks, and turning on the victims of the elites.
It’s a cult, an ugly grotesque cult that does not display Christian values because the cult leader himself is not a Christian even though the vast majority who attend his rallies would identify as Christian.
Know them by their fruit.
The fruit is rotten.
Because the cult leader himself is a wolf in sheep’s clothing who has led the flock astray.
At @spc, we are trying to reconcile two things:
1. We have never seen technological progress this rapid or fundamental. Nothing seems impossible.
2. Capital is flowing to consensus teams, in consensus markets, and with consensus terms.
So we’re running a new experiment: $200K, uncapped, to a handful of unapologetically maximalist thinkers who want to try a truly out-there idea.
Crypto World's Fair has concluded. Thanks to all of the builders/startups who entered products!
We're organizing the submissions & preparing to initiate the judging process, which will take 5/6 weeks.
We will announce the total # of submissions & share a public directory soon.

Following the discovery of another compromised Ledger at MediaMarkt, I've updated the list of resellers/distributors that may be at risk.
Aqipa GmbH has been an official Ledger distributor since August 2023, mainly in Germany and Austria.
I've added the list of European distributors that may have been supplied by Aqipa, but once again, nothing is proven except for MediaMarkt and CryptoBilis.
Don't you find it crazy that random accounts on X give you more information on the risks, how to check, and which devices may be compromised than the manufacturer itself does ?
They didn't even offer to cover the shipping costs for the latest Ledger bought at MediaMarkt, even though they asked for it to be sent in.
the ledger story just got 10x worse
it's not just southeast asia anymore. the same spy chips were just found inside ledgers bought from mediamarkt in europe
two different store locations. same modification. antenna. LTE module. identical setup
these weren't returns. the store confirmed they came directly from the distributor
the distributor? aqipa gmbh. they supply over 1,000 stores across 11 european countries
this means the compromise is happening BEFORE the devices reach the shelves
you walk into a legit electronics store. buy a ledger off the shelf. sealed box. receipt and everything
and there's a spy chip inside it
first it was a compromised reseller in southeast asia
this is no longer an isolated incident. this is a supply chain crisis
Don't forget that before Trump decided to bomb Iran:
- Hormuz was open
- The Gulf had peace
- Yemen had peace
- Iran had peace
- Israel was not invading Lebanon
- No one was bombing Israel
- Ethiopia had peace
- Oil was below $70
- American bases in the Gulf were untouched
Starshield is real: SpaceX's government/military variant of Starlink tech, with classified contracts (e.g. $1.8B with NRO for spy satellites providing imaging/recon to US intel and military, including CIA-linked elements). Not fully secret.
No evidence it "falls under FISA" or grants CIA unrestricted access. FISA governs electronic surveillance of foreign communications (Section 702), separate from satellite hardware.
The 2010 FISA Court authorization for NSA surveillance on BJP (and other foreign parties) via Snowden docs is accurate.
