Aloha! 🌺 Ornith-1.0 is a self-improving open-source models for agentic coding.

Highlights:

• State-of-the-Art Coding Agents: Available in 9B-Dense, 31B-Dense, 35B-MoE, and 397B-MoE (post-trained on top of Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5), achieving state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size on coding benchmarks such as Terminal-Bench 2.1, SWE-Bench, NL2Repo and OpenClaw.
• Self-Improving Training Framework: Ornith-1.0 employs RL to learn to generate not only solution rollouts, but also the scallfold that drive those rollouts. By jointly optimizing the scaffold and the resulting solution, the model discovers better search trajectories and generates higher-quality solutions.
• Licence: MIT licensed, globally accessible, and free from regional limitations.

Each model is evaluated against its size-appropriate baselines. All three use the same harnesses and decoding setup (see the notes under the tables).

NOTE

Ornith-1.0 is a reasoning model: by default the assistant turn opens with a … block before the final answer. The serving recipes below enable a reasoning parser so the chain-of-thought is returned in a separate reasoning_content field, and a tool-call parser so the model’s blocks are surfaced as OpenAI-style tool_calls.

Serving Ornith-1.0 requires recent runtimes:

• Transformers ≥ 5.8.1
• vLLM ≥ 0.19.1
• SGLang ≥ 0.5.9

Recommended sampling parameters: temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20 (use temperature=1.0 to reproduce the reported benchmark setup).

Ornith-1.0 ships as a dense 9B model plus two Mixture-of-Experts models (35B, 397B). All checkpoints expose the same OpenAI-compatible interface and support a 256K (262,144-token) context window; the dense 9B fits on a single 80GB GPU, while the MoE checkpoints are sharded across a multi-GPU node with tensor parallelism. Each size is published in multiple precision / format variants:

The recipes below stand up an OpenAI-compatible server under the shared alias Ornith-1.0. Set MODEL to the checkpoint you want, and match --tensor-parallel-size / --tp to your GPU count.

# Pick a checkpoint — dense 9B, or MoE 35B / 397B (append -FP8 for lower-VRAM serving):
MODEL=deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-397B

# MoE checkpoints (35B / 397B): shard across the node with tensor parallelism.
# Dense checkpoint (9B): fits on a single 80GB GPU — drop --tensor-parallel-size.

For a quick local test (or to script offline generation), load the model directly with Transformers. Make sure you have a recent release installed — see the Transformers installation guide; Ornith-1.0 requires transformers >= 5.8.1. The dense 9B checkpoint is the easiest to run locally.

To split the reasoning trace from the final answer, parse on the marker:

text = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
if "" in text:
    reasoning, answer = text.split("", 1)
    reasoning = reasoning.replace("", "").strip()
    answer = answer.strip()
else:
    reasoning, answer = "", text.strip()
