PrismML released Ternary Bonsai 2 27B, a ternary-weight version of Qwen3.8 27B that supports text and images. The language model is 5.93 GB, compared with 53.80 GB for FP16. It preserves 98.2% of the parent model’s 20-benchmark average but requires PrismML’s llama.cpp fork or its MLX runtime (stock llama.cpp can’t load the GGUF types).

The model supports a 1M-token context window. It is available only via hosted APIs (no open weights), alongside Qwen-MM-Plugins released under Apache-2.0 to help agent harness multimodal capabilities.

The biggest story today isn’t a single model release—it’s the plumbing getting thicker, especially for agentic AI. Nebius says it has struck deals with early-stage UK AI labs as it expands its GPU data-centre and compute offering in the UK, building on a planned £1.7bn build-out and an expanding London hub. That push rhymes with Britain’s British Business Bank, which announced £180m across six AI and deeptech VC funds, including £55m into Intrepid Growth Partners’ AI-focused Fund I, and with Nvidia’s own UK signal: CEO Jensen Huang announced minority-stake plans in five startups—Boltz, Foresight, Hiverge, Prima Mente, and Riverlane.
