Developers who need a local multimodal model for private on-device reasoning, tool use, vision, and agentic workflows

About Bonsai 27B

Bonsai 27B is the new multimodal flagship of the Bonsai family and the first 27B-class model to run on a phone. Based on Qwen3.6 27B, it brings a new capability tier to local devices; multi-step reasoning, structured tool calls, vision tasks, and computer-use agentic loops that stay coherent across many steps. Bonsai 27B comes in two variants. Ternary Bonsai 27B uses ternary weights with FP16 group-wise scaling, giving 1.71 effective bits per weight and a 5.9 GB footprint for the quality-oriented laptop-class version. 1-bit Bonsai 27B uses binary weights with the same group-wise scaling, giving 1.125 effective bits per weight and a 3.9 GB footprint that fits within the memory budget of an iPhone 17 Pro. Both variants run end-to-end across the language network, embeddings, attention, MLPs, and LM head with no higher-precision escape hatches. They are multimodal, with a compact 4-bit vision tower, so on-device workflows can understand screenshots, documents, and camera input.
