    Our own language model: Bonsai-sapling-v1-290m

    A few months ago now, we released our own language model built from the ground up and are calling it Bonsai-sapling-v1-290m, you can find more details about it and try it out at https://huggingface.co/zachwallace/bonsai-sapling-v1-290m-instruct. This model is not live in the Bonsai app, as we do not believe it’s performance is up to par with our standards. However, we intend to keep building models, and would love to one day be able to create models specifically built for Bonsai, in order to create smaller smarter models tailored specifically for what Bonsai does.

    The Bonsai Chrome Extension

    Hello everyone, we recently launched a Bonsai Chrome Extension, which you can download at this link. Our goal with the extension is to allow users another way of interfacing with Bonsai, and allowing users to work with Bonsai without leaving the webpage the user was focusing on. The extension is only learn mode and the Bonsai home page for now, I believe this best fits how I forecast extension usage. If you think differently or have any ideas please let me know.
