PrismML Compresses Qwen3.6 27B Into A Phone-Ready Model

Bonsai 27B runs natively on Apple devices and Nvidia GPUs through MLX and CUDA, in two quantized sizes.

  • PrismML calls Bonsai 27B the first model of its class able to run on a phone.
  • The ternary version needs 5.9 gigabytes and keeps 95 percent of Qwen3.6 27B's benchmark score.
  • PrismML, founded by Caltech researchers, is backed by Khosla Ventures, Cerberus, Google and Samsung.

Why it matters: A company's claim to be first in its class is an advertisement, not a verified fact yet.
