Overview

What this model is.

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B is a mid-size mixture-of-experts model built on the Qwen3.5 architecture. The publisher describes it as part of a self-improvement loop that generates training tasks, constructs scaffolds and optimises solution rollouts, aiming to improve policy performance through reinforcement learning.

In practice the model contains 36 billion parameters but activates roughly 3 billion per token. It supports a context window of 262 144 tokens, is distributed under the MIT licence and uses bfloat16 weight format. These characteristics affect memory, latency and licensing considerations for deployment.

Memory

How much VRAM the weights need.

Parameter count multiplied by the bytes each format uses. The key-value cache comes on top.

PrecisionWeightsNotes
bf1667.0 GiBFull precision as released
fp833.5 GiB8-bit, near-lossless on most models
int416.7 GiB4-bit, smallest footprint

The cache costs 80 KiB per token at 16-bit, so the full 262,144-token context of one request needs about 20.0 GiB. Concurrency multiplies that number, not the weights.

Hardware

Which card runs it.

At the released precision, with 90% of the card given to the server and 2.5 GiB kept for the runtime. The context column is what is left for the cache on that setup.

Questions

The things people ask about this model.

How much GPU memory does Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B need?

The weights take about 67 GiB at the released precision. That fits on one A100 80GB, which leaves roughly 3 GiB for the key-value cache.

What licence does Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B use?

The repository declares mit. Read the licence text before commercial use: the name alone does not tell you what is allowed.

How long a context does it support?

The configuration allows 262,144 tokens. Whether the whole window is usable depends on the memory left for the cache, which the hardware table works out per card.

Can I use it through an API instead of hosting it?

This page is a reference, and Aiqre does not serve this model today. We deploy open-weight models on dedicated EU hardware on request, so if you want an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for it, email [email protected] with the model name and roughly what volume you expect.
