How to verify the exact Ternary Bonsai 27B model
Updated 2026-07-15
Record the Hugging Face repository, immutable revision, exact weight file size, and SHA 256 hash. Our trace used prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-27B-mlx-2bit at revision 70f75f3ad081ab840a42f3304c02c27e7f89bfb7. The model.safetensors file was 8,490,785,104 bytes with SHA 256 8acd4597893ea7004e2d7336c3cf6e3157b8896592bbcf066db004021e45846b.
Why the model name is not enough
A repository can change while keeping the same name. A runtime can also give the model a shorter local identifier. The revision and hash connect a result to one exact file.
Format also matters. The MLX bundle, GGUF file, ideal ternary size, and unpacked FP16 checkpoint are different artifacts.
What to save with every result
- Repository and revision.
- File name, byte count, and hash.
- Runtime and version.
- Hardware, memory, context, and prompt shape.
Questions people ask
Does a local LM Studio model ID prove the checkpoint?
No. It is a local name. Save the source repository and file hash too.
Why publish the full hash?
It lets another tester confirm that both machines used the same bytes.
