Description

Bonsai 27B stands as the latest multimodal flagship in the Bonsai lineup, marking the debut of a 27B-class model designed to operate on mobile devices. Built on the foundation of Qwen3.6 27B, it introduces an elevated level of capability for local devices, featuring advanced multi-step reasoning, structured tool interactions, vision tasks, and agentic loops for computer use that maintain coherence throughout multiple steps. The Bonsai 27B is available in two distinct variants. The Ternary Bonsai 27B employs ternary weights combined with FP16 group-wise scaling, achieving an effective weight of 1.71 bits and occupying a 5.9 GB footprint, suitable for high-performance laptop applications. In contrast, the 1-bit Bonsai 27B utilizes binary weights with identical group-wise scaling, resulting in an effective weight of 1.125 bits and a more compact 3.9 GB footprint, making it compatible with the memory constraints of devices like the iPhone 17 Pro. Both models operate seamlessly across the entire language network, including embeddings, attention mechanisms, MLPs, and the language model head, without resorting to higher-precision alternatives. They also feature a compact 4-bit vision tower, enabling on-device workflows to effectively interpret screenshots, documents, and camera inputs, enhancing user interaction and productivity. This innovative approach underscores Bonsai 27B's commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile AI capabilities.

LFM3 represents Liquid AI's suite of streamlined, open-weight foundational models designed for a variety of applications, including text, vision, audio, and multimodal tasks. This lineup features variants for text generation, vision-language processing, audio, omni tasks, and decision-making models. Developers have the option to download the model weights, customize the supported models via fine-tuning, and deploy them on local edge hardware, or alternatively, utilize Liquid AI’s hosted API for access. Potential applications encompass conversational agents, tool invocation, speech transcription and synthesis, understanding of images and videos, document extraction, classification, routing, and robotics functionalities. LFM3 aims to cater to developers, researchers, and organizations focused on creating tailored AI solutions that require adaptable deployment options, including the ability for local inference. Furthermore, the open-weight models operate under Liquid AI’s LFM Open License, where the eligibility for commercial use and its associated terms are contingent upon the annual revenue of the organization. This flexibility allows users to tailor their AI implementations precisely to their needs, enhancing the overall utility of the models.
