PrismML hopes its tiny LLM will change how we all use AI

TechCrunch 3 weeks ago 50 ● 4 sources

PrismML released Bonsai 2 27B, a compressed reasoning large language model designed to run on PCs and smartphones. The model compresses Qwen3.8 27B down to 5.9 GB, matching 98% of Qwen’s aggregate benchmark scores. As a result, LLMs can be deployed with much lower memory use while aiming to preserve performance, with the company planning next releases targeting several-hundred-billion parameters.

Bonsai 2 27B: Near-Lossless Compression in a 9x Smaller Footprint

Simon Willison’s Weblog 3 weeks ago 46 ● 4 sources

A Hacker News commenter explains how to run the Bonsai 2 27B GGUF model using Prism’s llama.cpp fork and provides local setup steps. The GGUF download is about 5.95 GB. Users can launch a local server (with a warning about the tensor API not being supported in their environment) and see token throughput that varies between restarts.

DeepSeek-V4.1 Flash: Pushing the Limits of KV Cache Compression

GitHub Pages 3 weeks ago 3

DeepSeek-V4.1 Flash’s technical report lays out architectural and precision techniques to push KV cache compression to reduce long-context compute and storage bottlenecks. It reports reaching nearly 420 tokens/s with the release. The result is a CED + CSA2 design that supports up to 1 million tokens while cutting KV cache footprint further (including about 4x more compression) and improving serving efficiency.
