What is PrismML’s Bonsai 2, and why should I care that a 27B AI model fits on a PC?

Bonsai 2 is PrismML’s attempt to make a 27-billion-parameter language model practical on consumer-class hardware. The important part is not a magic “tiny” label: fitting a capable model locally can keep sensitive prompts on your machine, cut cloud delays, and avoid per-query fees—but actual speed will still depend on memory, quantization, and your CPU or GPU. Before downloading any local model, check its license, file size, RAM requirement, and independent benchmark results.
