Why the edge:
- Reach, Ornith-1.5-9B +20: 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, a…); Ornith-1.5-9B 95 (Memory 30, since Ornith's own MLX 4-bit build is 5.0 GB and needs about 6.0 GB with the fifth added, and its Q4_K_M GGUF and Ollama's build fit 16 GB too.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Ornith-1.5-122B +5: 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.); Ornith-1.5-9B 31 (Model card 11, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters and context but not limitations, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
