Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Pilot the original Bonsai 27B for memory-constrained local assistance with human review.

Why
Independent tests demonstrate useful inference, but binary code quality, long-context retrieval failures and workflow errors constrain unattended use.
Next
Pin the model variant and compatible runtime, then test task success, useful context retention, peak memory and sustained latency on intended hardware.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Binary code generation can lose substantial quality relative to ternary.
  • Allocated context length does not guarantee reliable retrieval.
  • Long-horizon coding and paperwork workflows require human review.
  • Prompt ingestion and reasoning can create substantial latency.
  • Total runtime memory exceeds the advertised weight footprint.
  • Ternary formats require compatible runtimes; legacy files are deprecated.
  • Independent sustained phone performance remains unestablished.
