Ternary-weight multimodal model on a Qwen3.8 27B base: weights are values in {-1, 0, +1} at 1.76 bits per weight with FP16 group scales, so the full 27B model ships at roughly 6GB. Hybrid attention, 262k context, vision input. Keeps 98.2 percent of the FP16 baseline on a 20-benchmark thinking suite. Runs on llama.cpp and MLX.
