# Ornith-1.0-9B-GGUF

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

GGUF copy of a 9B open-source coding-agent model, trained with reinforcement learning to write solutions and the scaffolding around them. Built for single-GPU use by developers running agents locally.

Ornith-1.0-9B-GGUF is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by ornith-ai

## About

### What it is

Ornith-1.0-9B is the smallest model in the Ornith family, a set of open-source coding-agent models that the card calls self-improving. This repository holds its GGUF copy, which the card says is designed for efficient use on a single GPU. The family's base models are Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5, which the authors trained further.

### Who it suits

It suits developers who want a coding agent model on their own machine and researchers who follow how reinforcement learning is applied to agents.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Software | Developers | Run a local coding agent on one GPU | Ask it to fix a failing test in a repository |
| Developer tools | Tool builders | Connect the model to an agent setup of their own | Test it in a terminal-based coding agent |
| Research | ML researchers | Study training that improves both the scaffold and the solution | Compare it with the Qwen3.5-9B scores in the card |

Anyone who needs a chat model for writing or general questions can skip it, since the card positions it for agentic coding.

### Where to use it

You run it on your own computer, behind an agent setup that calls the model.

- Windows, macOS or Linux, with Python, for downloading the files
- A single GPU, the deployment the card designs it for
- Terminus-2 and Claude Code, the two agent setups named in the card's benchmark table

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fix a bug in a repository | Developers | Edits and commands proposed across several steps |
| Run terminal tasks | Agent builders | A model to test on terminal-based task suites |
| Study agent training | Researchers | A small checkpoint trained with reinforcement learning |

### How to set it up

You need a way to fetch the files, a GPU and a runtime that opens GGUF files.

- Python, for the Hugging Face hub tools
- A single GPU
- Free disk space, about 4.5 GB for a 4-bit copy by estimate
- A local runtime that reads GGUF files

1. Install the Hugging Face hub tools.
2. Download the repository files.
3. Open the file in your GGUF runtime and connect it to your coding agent setup.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download ornith-ai/Ornith-1.0-9B-GGUF
```

### How to use it

The part of the card shown here gives no run command, so use is a matter of loading the file in your runtime and pointing your agent at it. Give the agent a coding task and let it work through the steps.

### Example

You hand your agent the task, "Make the failing test in this repository pass." The model reads files, runs commands and proposes edits over several turns, and your agent applies them.

### For newcomers and experts

A coding agent does more than write code. It runs commands and edits files step by step through an app, and this model is built to drive one. A good first try is to load the file and ask it a short coding question before wiring it into an agent.

For someone who knows the field, the card says the training uses reinforcement learning on two things at once: the solution attempts and the scaffold that drives them. Optimizing both together is meant to find better search paths. The card reports results on four coding benchmarks, among them SWE-Bench and OpenClaw, and those figures are the authors' own.

The model proposes a scaffold → The scaffold drives solution attempts → Reinforcement learning scores the pair → Training favors better search paths

### Good to know

The card's table gives 69.4 on SWE-bench Verified for this model against 53.2 for Qwen3.5-9B. The chart shows the Terminal-Bench 2.1 scores with the Terminus-2 setup, as the card reports them.

Terminal-Bench 2.1 score with Terminus-2

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Ornith-1.0-9B | 43.1 points |
| Qwen3.5-9B | 21.3 points |
| Qwen3.5-35B | 41.4 points |
| Gemma4-12B | 21 points |
| Gemma4-31B | 42.1 points |

- License: MIT, which the card describes as open worldwide with no regional limits
- Cost to run: none named, but you need a GPU
- Data it reaches: it downloads files from Hugging Face. What the model touches while coding depends on the agent setup you connect.

No benchmarks, no provenance, licence just says "other". Hard to see this displacing Qwen2.5-7B for anyone past the first afternoon unless the base model turns out to be something.
