Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B ranks #134 of 221 on the public leaderboard with a score of 49.27/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B is a open weight model with a 262K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Ornith publishes the MIT-licensed 35B MoE, with 3B active parameters, for self-hosted use. Its official Hugging Face configuration specifies a 262,144-token context window; no first-party hosted API or token rate is published for this exact model.

Official exact-value snapshot from Ornith's August 2026 Ornith-1.5 launch page. BenchLM maps the directly comparable provider-reported rows, including the versioned Terminal-Bench 2.1, DeepSWE, and Terminal-Bench 3.0 results as distinct display evidence; the source says all Ornith-1.5 results are averaged over five runs. SWE Atlas QnA and Terminal-Bench Claude Code remain outside the current schema. The family remains unranked while independent benchmark-native coverage is unavailable.

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B sits in the Ornith 1.5 family with Ornith-1.5-397B, Ornith-1.5-9B. Its explicit predecessor is Ornith-1.0-35B. 18 of 437 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Agentic at #62, while its lowest eligible position is Coding at #66. particularly useful for coding agents, browser research, and computer-use workflows.

Frequently asked questions

How does Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B ranks #134 out of 221 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 49.27/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 18 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B good for knowledge and understanding?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for knowledge and understanding, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B good for coding and programming?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B ranks #66 out of 138 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 50.8/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B ranks #62 out of 134 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 49.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B open source?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B is an open-weight model from Ornith AI. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Which sibling models are related to Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B belongs to the Ornith 1.5 family. Related tracked variants include Ornith-1.5-397B, Ornith-1.5-9B. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.

Does Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B currently has 18 source-displayable rows across 437 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B has a documented context window of 262K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.

Last updated August 19, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
