Ornith-1.0 is a new open-weight coding model that distinguishes itself by learning to build its own problem-solving harness during training, rather than relying on a pre-existing one. Despite its 9B parameter size, it demonstrates strong performance, matching or exceeding larger models like Gemma4-31B on coding benchmarks. However, users have encountered challenges integrating it with tools like Ollama, primarily due to issues with template metadata and the model's output format for tool calls, which requires manual configuration for proper functioning.
