Ternary-quantized 27B models are now targeting phones
prism-ml's Bonsai-27B and Ternary-Bonsai-27B GGUF builds are trending on Hugging Face (1.4M and 432K downloads over 30 days), part of a push — flagged on ThursdAI — to run 27B-class models on a phone via ternary quantization. Aggressive quantization is making capable local inference viable on far weaker hardware. For anyone building offline or privacy-first features, this is a shift worth tracking.
