Ornith-1.0-9B

Aloha! 🌺 Today, we are releasing Ornith-1.0, a self-improving family of 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.

Ornith 1.0 9B

This model card documents Ornith-1.0-9B, the most lightweight member of the Ornith family, designed for efficient single-GPU deployment.

Benchmarks

Quickstart

Serving Ornith-1.0-9B

Ornith-1.0-9B is a dense ~9B model (≈19 GB in bf16), so it serves comfortably on a single 80GB GPU. The recipes below stand up an OpenAI-compatible server; add --tensor-parallel-size / --tp if you want to shard across more GPUs.

vLLM

bash
vllm serve deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B \
    --served-model-name Ornith-1.0-9B \
    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
    --max-model-len 262144 \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
    --enable-prefix-caching \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_xml \
    --reasoning-parser qwen3 \
    --trust-remote-code

SGLang

bash
python -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B \
    --served-model-name Ornith-1.0-9B \
    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
    --context-length 262144 \
    --mem-fraction-static 0.85 \
    --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder \
    --reasoning-parser qwen3

Hugging Face Transformers

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-1.0-9B requires transformers >= 5.8.1.

python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function is_prime(n). Keep it short."}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
)

inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
generated = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    top_k=20,
)
output_ids = generated[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:]

# The reply contains a <think> ... </think> reasoning block followed by the answer.
content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(content)

To split the reasoning trace from the final answer, parse on the </think> marker:

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

Using Ornith-1.0-9B via the Chat Completions API

Once a vLLM or SGLang server is running, talk to it with any OpenAI-compatible client.

Basic Usage

python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY",  # any non-empty string works for a local server
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Ornith-1.0-9B",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a one-line Python lambda that squares a number."}
    ],
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    max_tokens=1024,
)

message = response.choices[0].message
# reasoning_content holds the <think> trace; content holds the final answer.
print("reasoning:", getattr(message, "reasoning_content", None))
print("answer:", message.content)

You can also stream tokens, or hand the model tools — Ornith-1.0-9B emits well-formed function calls that the server parses into the standard tool_calls field:

python
tools = [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "get_weather",
            "description": "Get the current weather for a city",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {"city": {"type": "string"}},
                "required": ["city"],
            },
        },
    }
]

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Ornith-1.0-9B",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is the weather in Paris right now?"}],
    tools=tools,
    tool_choice="auto",
    temperature=0.6,
    max_tokens=2048,
)

tool_call = response.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0]
print(tool_call.function.name, tool_call.function.arguments)
# -> get_weather {"city": "Paris"}

You can point any OpenAI-compatible SDK (Python, Node.js, etc.) or curl at the same /v1/chat/completions endpoint.

Agentic Usage

Ornith-1.0-9B excels in tool-calling and agentic coding capabilities.

Agent Frameworks

Because Ornith-1.0-9B exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with tool calling, it works out of the box with standard agent frameworks. Below is a minimal example that connects Ornith-1.0-9B to tools through an MCP server.

python
import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url=os.getenv("OPENAI_BASE_URL", "http://localhost:8000/v1"),
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY", "EMPTY"),
)

tools = [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "run_shell",
            "description": "Run a shell command and return its output.",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "command": {"type": "string", "description": "The command to run"}
                },
                "required": ["command"],
            },
        },
    }
]

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "List the Python files in the current directory."}]

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B",
    messages=messages,
    tools=tools,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
)
print(response.choices[0].message)

Coding CLIs

Ornith-1.0-9B is optimized for terminal-based coding agents. Point any OpenAI-compatible coding CLI at your Ornith-1.0-9B endpoint (set OPENAI_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY) to understand large codebases, automate tedious work, and ship faster.

OpenCode

bash
# Register your local Ornith endpoint as a provider in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:
#
# {
#   "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
#   "provider": {
#     "ornith": {
#       "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
#       "name": "Ornith (local)",
#       "options": { "baseURL": "http://localhost:8000/v1", "apiKey": "EMPTY" },
#       "models": { "deepreinforce-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B": { "name": "Ornith-1.0-9B" } }
