Ornith-1.0: Self-Scaffolding LLMs for Agentic Coding

Ornith-1.0 is a new open-source AI model designed for coding tasks, built on top of existing models (Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5) and available in multiple sizes ranging from 9 billion to 397 billion parameters. The model is MIT licensed and achieves top performance on coding benchmarks among similarly-sized open-source models, with users reporting it works well for tasks like analyzing code and handling multiple tool calls in agent systems (where the AI can use external tools to complete tasks).
