“it's usable for real coding and sys admin work, and works great in opencode”
“I run these two Qwen model variations successfully”
“where I run the less quantised versions of these for higher quality results”
“I prefer https://ornith.ai/ornith_1_5.html to Qwen 3.8 not only because it is much faster on my hardware”
“Any other task, I still use Ornith 1.5 35B that throws 20t/sec”
“(my personnal favorite)”
“i still miss the speed of that moe”
“it feels like an improvement.”
“my inference company has actually started offering Ornith1.5 today for 9B and 35B A3B”
“It's now my go-to model for quick inquiries.”
“my new daily driver is Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-MLX-4bit. I recommend giving that a whirl”
“Ornith1.5-35B-A3B I've been running (and quite happy about).”
“Please check your download links, it get 400 Bad Request”
“Ornith1 (9B) was a really nice model.”
“the subtlety and nuance it showed in its response was very surprising to me”
“it did a little better than Qwen 9B”
“local/ornith-1.0-35b”
“There's definitely some latent capability in there that arguably exceeds Qwen 3.6”
“https://huggingface.co/deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B/blob/main/config.json#L3”
“From what I personally tested Ornith-1.0 35B is slightly better than Qwen-3.6 35B.”
The Ornith folks say they're doing that, but haven't released the Gemma-based 31b yet (https://github.com/deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1). But, also, the Qwen-based 35b MoE Ornith version performs worse than Qwen 3.6 and Qwen AgentWorld on my benchmarks (which are focused on finding security bugs, so not exactly the same as agentic coding, but closely related skills). That said, the reason they're able to release Ornith b
“Sure.”
“I'm pretty impressed with it”
“Ornith achieves SOTA performance among open-source models of comparable size”
