PrismML ships `Bonsai Image 4B` as 1-bit and ternary image models

A text-to-image model small enough for browser-side WebGPU changes the demo and prototyping surface. Worth testing for local-first image features; quality still needs validation.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Weights are about 3GB, versus roughly 16GB for FLUX.2 Klein 4B; distribution and local demos get much lighter.
  2. Binary and Ternary variants target extreme quantization, so the real test is prompt quality, latency, and failure modes.
  3. Apache-2.0 licensing lowers commercial friction. Browser-local generation can reduce API cost and privacy concerns for small tools.
  4. The Hugging Face WebGPU demo matters because no backend GPU is required for first-contact testing.
