A guide has been released to explain the terminology and concepts behind the new Ornith 1.0 models. The guide clarifies the difference between Dense and Mixture of Experts (MoE) architectures, noting that MoE models activate only a subset of parameters per token, impacting compute speed but not RAM requirements. It also details two key variations across model repositories: the format (safetensors for raw models, GGUF for local execution) and precision (BF16, FP8, and various GGUF quantizations for reduced memory usage).
