bonsai's document reveal how much cherry picked their headlines are

Bonsai's documents reveal discrepancies in their performance claims, particularly regarding the Ternary Bonsai 2 27B model. While Bonsai initially claimed 98.2% intelligence retained, their own evaluations show Ternary Bonsai 2 27B achieving 52.8 and 60.8 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and SWE-bench Verified, respectively. This performance is compared to Qwen3.5-27B's 69.7 and 80.6, indicating that Ternary Bonsai 2 27B retains roughly three quarters of the full-precision performance on both benchmarks, rather than the higher figure initially suggested.

This report uses Bonsai's own documents to compare its Ternary Bonsai 2 27B model's actual performance against its advertised claims, unlike other reports that only cite the company's public statements.
