Today I tried Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B, and I’m quite positively surprised by it… I compared it to both Qwen3.7-Flash and MiMo-V2.5 (via OpenRouter) in a few coding tasks and Ornith seems to be better than both! Thinks much more but the result definitely speaks for itself.
Yeah I tried Kat Coder when it came out, I don’t remember the exact issue I ran into but I identified a definite regression in my specific use cases compared to using vanilla. Ornith seems to be equivalent or better so far 👍
Yeah Ornith 1 35b seemed pretty good when I tried it, haven’t tried 1.5 yet. The only one from the 1.5 series I tested so far was 9b and it seems to punch above its weight
My previous experience with finetunes is bad…

Hoping for Qwen3.8-35B soon 🤞
Have you tried Kat Coder? It’s also a fine-tune of Qwen 35b and I’ve heard good things about it
