Olmo 3 7B Think vs Ornith-1.5-122B

Olmo 3 7B Think 35

The chat template earns 20 for chat_template.jinja in the repository. The tool-calling format earns 10, since only the template and vLLM's own parser describe it. Trained tool calling earns nothing, because Ai2's report says tool calling was trained into the Instruct model, not Think. Structured output earns nothing. Reasoning control earns nothing, since it always thinks. Context earns 5 for 65,536 tokens trained. 20 + 10 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 5 = 35.

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.

Olmo 3 7B Think 75

File safety earns 25, safetensors only and nothing from the repository runs. Provenance earns 15, files in the allenai organisation Ai2 links to, with a checksum for every file. Safety evaluation earns 20, as Ai2 publishes its safety results and the OLMES harness to rerun them. Agent guidance earns 5 for the card's general cautions. Licence risk earns 5, losing 5 for disallowed uses beyond the law and 5 because Ai2 can update the guidelines and end access at its discretion. The security programme earns 5 for a reporting route, a security.txt now past its expiry and a channel for security concerns in the guidelines, with no public advisories. 25 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 75.

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.

Olmo 3 7B Think 52

The model card earns 17, missing only the context length. Training data earns the full 20, as every dataset is released with sources and sizes. The last change earns 10, a card fix on 25 June 2026, within 180 days. Responsiveness earns nothing, with no Ai2 reply among the 4 replies in the discussions. Version policy earns 5, with earlier and later models in their own repositories and no dated notes. File health earns nothing, because the template's default prompt contradicts the card's on the cut-off and a stray swap file and an unanswered report sit in the repository. 17 + 20 + 10 + 0 + 5 + 0 = 52.

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.
