My previous experience with finetunes is bad..
Today I tried Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B, and I'm quite positively surprised by it.. I compared it to both Qwen3.7-Flash and MiMo-V2.5 (via OpenRouter) in a few coding tasks and Ornith seems to be better than both! Thinks much more but the result definitely speaks for itself.
Hoping for Qwen3.8-35B soon ๐ค
Have you tried Kat Coder? It's also a fine-tune of Qwen 35b and I've heard good things about it
Yeah I tried Kat Coder when it came out, I don't remember the exact issue I ran into but I identified a definite regression in my specific use cases compared to using vanilla. Ornith seems to be equivalent or better so far ๐
Yeah Ornith 1 35b seemed pretty good when I tried it, haven't tried 1.5 yet. The only one from the 1.5 series I tested so far was 9b and it seems to punch above its weight
I feel like Ornith 1.0 9b was the best coding model at that size (since Qwen has neglected that size). Maybe now Ling Tiny is better but I'm curious to try Ornith 1.5
I agree. I'm very interested to try it. I felt like Ornith 1.0 tried a little too hard to second-guess and overcorrect itself and would sometimes end up steering itself down an inescapable rabbit hole of self-correction ad absurdum, when ironically its first solution was often the best, sometimes would work as-is or with only a little refinement needed. I'm hopeful that 1.5 will improve that.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
