Prism ML

Prism ML is an open-source organization focused on making machine learning models accessible, efficient, and runable locally. The project emphasizes extreme quantization techniques to reduce hardware requirements for high-quality inference.

Key Projects & Models

• bonsai-image: A groundbreaking image generation model that achieves local 1-bit image generation through extreme quantization, significantly reducing model size while maintaining high fidelity.
  • Capabilities: Supports both 1-bit (binary) and 2-bit (ternary) generation modes.
  • Context: Builds upon Prism ML’s prior research in 1-bit large language models.
  • Documentation: See Bonsai Image: Local 1-bit Image Generation Through Extreme Quantization for the initial May 2026 release details.
  • Latest Report: Refer to Bonsai Image: Local 1-Bit AI Image Generation Model Report for a comprehensive summary and demonstration.
• Focus Areas:
  • Extreme quantization (1-bit, 2-bit)
  • Local execution optimization
  • Open-source accessibility
