Bonsai 2 27B Delivers Near-Lossless Ternary Compression for Coding Agents
Prism ML released Ternary Bonsai 2 27B, quantizing Qwen3.8 27B down to 1.76 bits per weight at a 5.9GB memory footprint. The release retains 98.2% of full-precision benchmark performance while running local agentic coding loops on consumer GPUs.
Why it matters
You can now run a capable 27B coding and computer-use agent completely offline on consumer hardware with 6GB of VRAM.
