Show HN: 1-Bit Bonsai, the First Commercially Viable 1-Bit LLMs (prismml.com) AI
PrismML announces “1-bit Bonsai” models that use 1-bit weights to shrink memory and power requirements for running LLMs on edge devices and in robotics. The company claims the 8B model fits in about 1.15GB of RAM, runs faster and more energy-efficiently than full-precision 8B models, and preserves benchmark performance. It also offers smaller 4B and 1.7B variants designed for on-device speed, with detailed comparisons reportedly covered in a whitepaper.
