Ornith 1.5 and Tiel-Coder lead tool-calling benchmark, outperforming Qwen variants

A benchmark comparing several large language models on tool-calling capabilities reveals that Ornith 1.5 and Tiel-Coder performed best. These models, designed for VRAM-limited hardware, outperformed original Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and Qwen3.6-27B variants. KAT Coder also showed improvement over the original Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, while Ornith-1.5-Heretic was a disappointment in the tests. AI

IMPACT New benchmarks highlight Ornith 1.5 and Tiel-Coder as strong performers in tool-calling, potentially offering alternatives for VRAM-limited users.
