Mini tools1 Bit Bonsai 8B
By PrismML
1-bit Bonsai 8B is PrismML’s top compact model in the Bonsai family, focused on maximizing “intelligence density” rather than raw model size. PrismML describes it as the first commercially viable model with 1-bit weights, requiring only 1.15GB of memory while targeting robotics, real-time agents, and edge deployment. The company says it has a 14x smaller footprint than a standard 16-bit 8B model, runs 8x faster, uses 5x less energy, and still matches leading 8B-class models on benchmarks, positioning it as a practical high-performance model for constrained hardware.
