Description

Bonsai 27B stands as the latest multimodal flagship in the Bonsai lineup, marking the debut of a 27B-class model designed to operate on mobile devices. Built on the foundation of Qwen3.6 27B, it introduces an elevated level of capability for local devices, featuring advanced multi-step reasoning, structured tool interactions, vision tasks, and agentic loops for computer use that maintain coherence throughout multiple steps. The Bonsai 27B is available in two distinct variants. The Ternary Bonsai 27B employs ternary weights combined with FP16 group-wise scaling, achieving an effective weight of 1.71 bits and occupying a 5.9 GB footprint, suitable for high-performance laptop applications. In contrast, the 1-bit Bonsai 27B utilizes binary weights with identical group-wise scaling, resulting in an effective weight of 1.125 bits and a more compact 3.9 GB footprint, making it compatible with the memory constraints of devices like the iPhone 17 Pro. Both models operate seamlessly across the entire language network, including embeddings, attention mechanisms, MLPs, and the language model head, without resorting to higher-precision alternatives. They also feature a compact 4-bit vision tower, enabling on-device workflows to effectively interpret screenshots, documents, and camera inputs, enhancing user interaction and productivity. This innovative approach underscores Bonsai 27B's commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile AI capabilities.
