alt Hacker NewsI was trying Ornith 9B locally (it's up on Ollama) which claims:
> Ornith-1.0-9B, which can be easily deployed on edge devices, matches or exceeds the performance of much larger models such as Gemma 4-31B and Qwen 3.6 35B.

Only tried it so much so far; it did a little better than Qwen 9B

Orinth was not impressive in my vibes testing, I just completed my first grid analysis with real evals on qwen 27b. I can now scale that grid analysis and intend to include the qwen 9b ftunes I've seen going around. They were actually a main motivation because so many claim this or that one is better, but very little in the way of evals

Is that a 1-bit LLM? I don’t understand the connection with this article.

Note that 3.5 9B cannot do thinking (while 3.6 27B can, pretty effectively, quite verbosely).
