Ternary Bonsai 2 27B compresses Qwen3.8-27B into ternary weights. According to PrismML, the densely packed PTQ1_0 files need 5.95 GB for the language model and store 1.75 bits per weight. A separately supplied vision component is added for image input.

The full checkpoint has 27.36 billion parameters and handles 262,144 context tokens. It retains the base model’s architecture. PrismML releases the weights under Apache 2.0, with the idealized ternary precision of 1.72 bits differing from the shipped PTQ1_0 format.
