In the comments it reads like bonsei falls apart on longer running tasks.

Not really. The largest IQ4_XS quant here is still worth it because Bonsai doesn't offer larger quants. They could beat it if they made a quaternary variant though, I don't know why they're stopping at ternary.

I wonder the same thing for Bonsai 2. ByteShape offers 5 models from IQ2_XXS-2.56bpw (8.8GB), IQ3_XXS-2.88bpw (9.9GB), IQ3_XS-3.01bpw (10.4GB), IQ3_S-3.23bpw (11.0GB) to IQ4_XS-3.84bpw (13.1GB). Their benchmarks show gradual improvement with size and users can pick one to fit theirs need. Bonsai-2-27B now is about 8.6GB. It might be good to have a quaternary version around 10-11GB to fit a computer with 16-24GB RAM.
