🐦 About Ornith

Ornith-1.0-9B is a self-improving agentic coding model from DeepReinforce AI, post-trained on top of Qwen3.5 (9B Dense) with RL to jointly optimize scaffold generation and solution rollouts.

It achieves strong performance on Terminal-Bench 2.1, SWE-Bench Verified, NL2Repo, and OpenClaw among open-source models of comparable size.

This GGUF package includes heretic ARA-LoRA abliteration for uncensored use, MTP layers injected from Qwen3.5-9B, and the mmproj-F16 vision projector for multimodal capabilities. License: MIT.

🔓 heretic ARA-LoRA Abliteration

This model is abliterated using heretic with the ARA-LoRA method (Arbitrary-Rank Ablation with LoRA). ARA-LoRA identifies and removes refusal behavior by ablating specific directions in the model's weight space while preserving general capabilities through KL divergence control.

Key ablation parameters (Trial 76 of 250, best result):

Target Layers	Layers 14–16
preserve_good_behavior_weight	0.7319
steer_bad_behavior_weight	0.0001
overcorrect_relative_weight	1.1086
neighbor_count	7
Result	KL divergence: 0.0288 (< 0.05 ✅), Refusals: 3/100 (< 10 ✅)

Quantization: bnb_4bit · Batch size: 32 · Target: KL < 0.05, Refusals < 10/100

⚡ MTP (Multi-Token Prediction)

MTP layers are injected from the original Qwen3.5-9B base model (same architecture, compatible weights). MTP enables the model to predict multiple future tokens simultaneously, improving generation speed and coherence.

The MTP layer includes mtp.fc.weight and mtp.layers.0.* tensors, added on top of the 33 standard transformer layers.

Requires --chat-template chatml for proper thinking mode rendering in llama.cpp.
