Momentum
Bonsai 1.7B is a native 1-bit language model by PrismML (a startup emerging from Caltech research) based on the Qwen3 architecture. The weights are quantized to a single sign bit per parameter (effectively 1.125 bits/weight including scaling factors), resulting in a GGUF file size of only around 248-290 MB. It is part of the broader Bonsai model family (1.7B, 4B, 8B, 27B) and runs locally on laptops, smartphones, and even in the browser via WebGPU thanks to its extremely low memory footprint. The model is provided free of charge under the Apache-2.0 license.
