Ornith 1.5 9B is the lightweight member of the Ornith-1.5 family, designed for efficient single-GPU deployment and edge use through its quantized mobile variant. It is a 9B dense model built around an end-to-end self-improvement approach that jointly optimizes task generation, scaffold construction, and solution rollouts through reinforcement learning. Its Qwen3.5-based architecture uses 32 layers with hybrid linear and full attention, 16 attention heads, and a 4-head KV configuration. The model supports a 262,144 token context window, making it suitable for efficient deployment across demanding long-context workloads.
