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

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

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

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