PrismML's Ternary Bonsai 2 9B, from vendor prism-ml, accepts both text and image input. It offers a context window of 262,144 tokens and can produce up to 65,536 tokens in a single completion, which leaves room for long documents and extended outputs. The model supports tool calling and reasoning. The available facts do not indicate whether it offers structured output, and its open-weights status is also unspecified. Pricing is $0.08 per million input tokens and $0.13 per million output tokens, with only a small gap between input and output rates. The model has no independent benchmark coverage yet, so its quality relative to alternatives is unproven. It belongs on the shortlist for cost-sensitive teams that need long context, image input, and tool use in one model. Those teams should run their own evaluations on representative tasks before committing production traffic.
