DeepReinforce released Ornith-1.0 under MIT license in four variants: 9B Dense, 31B Dense, 35B MoE, and 397B MoE. Built on Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5, it tops open-source models of similar size in coding benchmarks. Tested via LM Studio with the 35B Q4_K_M GGUF (20GB), the model smoothly handles agent tasks like finding code to decode an actor cookie, generating at 103 tokens/s.
