Ornith-1.5-122B Arrives With a Day-Zero Quant for One Spark

Open weights under the MIT license; @MiaAI_lab posted an EXL3-EAQ v1 quant for one DGX Spark or RTX PRO 6000.

A new 122B open-weight model, quantized the same morning.

Ornith released Ornith-1.5-122B, which it bills as “No Tradeoff Between Strong and Fast.” In its announcement, quoted by @MiaAI_lab, Ornith says the model offers open weights under the MIT license and runs on a single NVIDIA DGX card.

@MiaAI_lab congratulated the team and posted a day-zero EXL3-EAQ v1 quant of the model for one DGX Spark or RTX PRO 6000, available for download.

“You’ll be surprised.”

About two hours later she followed up: “I’m actually blown away by how well Ornith-1.5-122B performs.” She says her 100-HTML experiment with the model is coming soon.

Her 100-HTML test asks a model for 100 HTML files. In this morning’s edition she reported MiniMax M3.1 Flash’s attempt, with some broken files.
