Ornith 1.5 (9B, Q8)
Ornith AI's dense 9B Ornith 1.5 model — a compact self-improving agentic coder trained for software engineering, tool use, and reasoning. This 8-bit build prioritizes fidelity while staying practical on Apple Silicon, with native tool calling and a 256K context window. MIT licensed; best suited to machines with 16GB+ usable memory.
