Ornith 1.0 is insane. A free local AI model just dropped that outperforms models four times its size. Ornith 1.0 is a local AI model built specifically for agentic coding. Plug it into an agent operating system and it becomes a full agentic coding engine locally, privately, for free. It can run a team of agents on a Kanban board, all coordinated, all local, all free. It can act as the builder in a loop engine, writing, running, judging, and
fixing its own output automatically. It can even write scripts for your videos. On benchmarks, it outperforms Quen 3.5 at 9 billion. Quen 3.5 at 35 billion, and both Gemma 4 variants tested. It runs offline. It costs nothing. It keeps your data completely private.
