Apple Silicon developers building private local image-generation apps that need compact diffusion models

About Bonsai Image

Bonsai Image Ternary 4B MLX 2-bit is a ternary-weight text-to-image diffusion transformer deployment for Apple Silicon. It is built as a quality-oriented Bonsai Image variant, using ternary {−1, 0, +1} transformer weights with FP16 group-wise scaling in the matrix-heavy transformer layers, including Q/K/V projections, output projections, and MLP weights. The model reduces the FLUX.2 Klein 4B transformer from 7.75 GB FP16 to a 1.21 GB Bonsai Image transformer, a 6.4× smaller footprint, while keeping visual quality and prompt fidelity close to the original model. The Apple Silicon deployment payload is 3.88 GB, including the MLX 2-bit diffusion transformer, a 4-bit Qwen3-4B text encoder, and an FP16 Flux2 VAE. After prompt encoding, the text encoder is offloaded, so the denoising loop only keeps the compact transformer and VAE resident. The model uses a 4-step FlowMatchEuler sampler with guidance 1.0 and shift 3.0, with no CFG and no negative prompts required.
