DiffusionGemma 26B A4B IT vs Ornith-1.5-122B

DiffusionGemma 26B A4B IT 60

The card covers all seven points (20), and the training data is a general description with a January 2025 cut-off (10). The files last changed on 15 July 2026, 112 days before this check (10). Google organisation members answered 10 of the 20 discussions (10). It's a first release (5). File health gets 5 because the diffusers scheduler config disagrees with the card's sampling settings, though the files on the documented path agree.

Ornith-1.5-122B 36

Model card 11, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters and context but not limitations, languages or a knowledge cut-off. Training data 5, a description of the method with no data or cut-off. Last change 20, a folder upload to the MLX builds on 24 October 2026, 17 days ago. Responsiveness 0, Ornith answered none of the 5 questions and reports. Version policy 0, the MLX builds were uploaded a second time four days after the first with no note. File health 0, the card links a missing LICENSE, states hardware its own files don't fit and names a variant that doesn't exist, and the two chat templates differ. 11 + 5 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 36.

Memory earns 15 because the only Google build is 51.7 GB of BF16, about 62 GB with the fifth added, which needs the 64 GB band. Runtimes get 15 for Transformers from 5.11.0, SGLang from v0.5.22 and vLLM, whose releases from v0.24.0 (tag commit 28 June 2026) to v0.33.0 register DiffusionGemmaForBlockDiffusion; llama.cpp (b12114, and Ollama through its pin b11963) and LM Studio don't run it. Builds score 0 because Google publishes no quantised build, though others have published FP8, NVFP4, GGUF and 4-bit copies. Apache 2.0 with nothing added gives terms the full 15 and the ungated repository gives download the full 10. Hosted too scores 0, since no inference provider is mapped and the Gemini API doesn't serve it.

Ornith-1.5-122B 75

Memory 10, since Ornith's own MLX 4-bit build is 69.7 GB and needs about 83.6 GB with the fifth added, over 64 GB and inside the reference machine's 107.4 GB, as do its Q4_K_M GGUF, its NVFP4 build and Ollama's build. Runtimes 25, the most the line gives, from vLLM 0.33.0, SGLang 0.5.23, Transformers 5.22.2, llama.cpp's qwen35moe architecture, Ollama's library and LM Studio's catalogue for the qwen35moe architecture. Builds 15, Ornith publishes FP8, NVFP4, GGUF and MLX at several precisions. Terms 15, MIT as named in the card's metadata, with nothing added, read by its terms though the repository has no licence file. Download 10, nothing is gated. Hosted 0, Ornith runs no API and no inference provider serves it. 10 + 25 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 75.

File safety gets the full 25, safetensors only and loaded by Transformers' own code and a Jinja template. Provenance gets 15 for files in Google's organisation with a hash for every file. Licence risk keeps 15 under plain Apache 2.0. Agent guidance gets 10 for the card's list of harm categories and its advice to add content-safety safeguards. Safety evaluation scores 0 because the card states improvements without figures. The security programme gets 5 for Google's security.txt, with no public advisories for Gemma.

Ornith-1.5-122B 50

File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only and no Python in any of Ornith's repositories for this size, so the card's --trust-remote-code flag loads nothing from the repository. Provenance 15, the files come from the ornith-ai organisation Ornith's blog links to, with a SHA-256 for every weight file. Safety evaluation 0 and agent guidance 0, nothing published on either. Licence risk 10, MIT carries no policy, threshold or changeable terms, but the card's licence link is broken. Security programme 0, no security.txt, disclosure policy or security contact.

The chat template is in the repository (20) and handles several tool calls in one turn, and the card names function calling as trained (20). The tool-calling format gets 10, since only the template and the shipped response schema say how tools work here and Google's tool-calling guide is for Gemma 4. Structured output scores 0, undocumented and rejected by SGLang. Thinking can be turned on or off per request with the reasoning in its own channel (10), and the context is 256K (10).

Ornith-1.5-122B 85

Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 25, the card shows how tools go in and how calls come back and names the parser for vLLM and SGLang. Trained tool calling 20, Ornith trains it on agent tasks and the template renders several calls in one turn. Structured output 0, not documented or claimed. Reasoning control 10, Ornith's template reads enable_thinking per request and the card says the reasoning comes back in reasoning_content, though the card doesn't name the switch. Context 10, 262,144 tokens native.
