Heretic Trial 63 BF16 merge · compatible MTP head · APEX GGUFs + mmproj

🐦 About this release

Ornith-1.0-35B is an agentic coding model from DeepReinforce AI, based on Qwen3.5 MoE. This experimental derivative merges the selected Heretic 1.4.0 Trial 63 LoRA into BF16 weights.

It also includes a compatible Qwen3.5 MTP head, a BF16 vision projector, and APEX mixed-precision GGUFs. Refusal-modified models can behave differently from the original; evaluate before deployment. License: MIT.

💡 What is APEX?

These GGUFs use APEX, an MoE-aware mixed-precision quantization method. It allocates precision according to tensor role and layer position; the MTP layer remains Q8_0 and the matching vision projector remains BF16.
