Beating AI News: AI lab PrismML, co-founded by Caltech mathematician Babak Hassibi, has launched Ternary Bonsai 2 27B, compressing the 27-billion-parameter Qwen3.8 27B model to just 5.9GB. The model quantizes its weights into three values (-1, 0, +1), making its size roughly one-ninth that of the original FP16 version. It supports a 262k-token context window, text-and-image input, and agent tool calls, with its weights released under the Apache 2.0 license.
