Ornith 1.0 35B, self-quantized to GGUF by Atomic Chat. Built straight from DeepReinforce's original weights with a per-tensor importance matrix. Runs fully offline.

Highlights

• A self-improving open-source family for agentic coding from DeepReinforce, built for tool-calling and terminal-based coding agents.
• Sparse Mixture-of-Experts: 256 routed experts with 8 active per token plus a shared expert, across 40 layers (qwen3_5_moe).
• Post-trained on top of Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5, the mid-size member of the Ornith 1.0 lineup.
• Strong agentic coding scores: 75.6 on SWE-bench Verified and 64.2 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (Terminus-2).
• 262,144-token native context for long files and multi-step agent traces.
• Pure open: MIT licensed, globally accessible with no regional limits.
• Full quant ladder with an importance matrix on every quant over calibration_datav3.

> [!NOTE]

> These GGUFs are self-quantized from the original weights, not a repack. The importance matrix keeps low-bit quants closer to the full-precision model.

> [!IMPORTANT]

> Always pass --jinja so the Ornith 1.0 35B chat template is applied. Without it the model can emit malformed turns.

Scores are DeepReinforce's published results for the base deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-35B. These are full-precision scores; the quants here run the same model locally. Quantization preserves the large majority of this, with Q4_K_M and up sitting within a point or two of full precision.

Choosing a quant

| Quant | Size | Notes |

|---|---|---|

| Q4_K_M | — | Recommended default. Best balance of size, speed and quality. |

| UD-Q4_K_XL | — | Dynamic. Token embeddings and output kept at Q8_0 for higher quality at a Q4 footprint. |

| Q5_K_M | — | Higher quality, low loss. |

| Q6_K | — | Near lossless. |

| Q8_0 | — | Effectively lossless, reference quality. |

> [!TIP]

> Pick the largest file that fits your (V)RAM with room for context. Q4_K_M or UD-Q4_K_XL is the sweet spot for most setups; Q6_K or Q8_0 for maximum fidelity. As an MoE the routed experts dominate the file size, so the quants are smaller than a dense 35B.

Get started

Run Ornith 1.0 35B locally with:

• Atomic Chat: the easiest path. Open the app, search AlexAtomic/ornith-35b-GGUF, pick a quant, hit Use this model.
• llama.cpp: llama-server -hf AlexAtomic/ornith-35b-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 8192
• Ollama: ollama run hf.co/AlexAtomic/ornith-35b-GGUF:Q4_K_M
• LM Studio / Jan: search the repo id, download any quant.

Best practices

| Parameter | Value |

|---|---|

| temperature | 0.6 |

| top_p | 0.95 |

| top_k | 20 |

DeepReinforce's recommended sampling parameters. The card notes that temperature=1.0 reproduces the reported benchmark setup.

Run in llama.cpp

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cmake llama.cpp -B llama.cpp/build -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DGGML_CUDA=ON
cmake --build llama.cpp/build --config Release -j --target llama-cli llama-server

./llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-server \
    -hf AlexAtomic/ornith-35b-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
    --jinja -ngl 99 -c 8192 -fa on

How these were made

1. Download deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-35B (original weights).
2. Convert to f16 GGUF with llama.cpp; the NextN/MTP block is stripped before quantizing.
3. Build an importance matrix over calibration_datav3 with llama-imatrix.
4. Quantize the full ladder with --imatrix.
5. UD-Q4_K_XL additionally pins the token-embedding and output tensors to Q8_0.
