The Bonsai-demo repo enables running Bonsai language models locally across Mac Metal, Linux/Windows CUDA/Vulkan/ROCm, and CPU targets. The updated Bonsai 27B family introduces vision-language capabilities, native OpenAI-style tool calling, and MCP server support. It also features a reasoning model with configurable effort and context windows exceeding 256k tokens.

• Run Bonsai 1-bit and 27B models locally on diverse hardware including Mac Metal and GPU/CPU stacks.
• Leverage vision-language features to analyze photos, screenshots, and PDFs directly in the demo UI.
• Utilize native OpenAI-style tool_calls and MCP servers for agentic workflow integration.
• Configure reasoning effort per chat or budget tokens per request for the 256k+ context window model.

Apache Ossie is an incubating open-source project establishing a vendor-neutral specification for semantic model exchange. It targets the data analytics, AI, and BI ecosystem by providing a single source of truth for metadata definitions. The goal is to ensure interoperability and consistency of data semantics across diverse tools and platforms.

• Provides a vendor-agnostic standard for semantic metadata, reducing tool-lock-in risks.
• Targets interoperability between disparate analytics, AI, and BI platforms.
• Establishes a consistent source of truth for data definitions and values.
• Aims to streamline semantic model exchange in complex data ecosystems.
