Ornith-1.5-122B vs Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507

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.

Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 90

Memory 25 of 30, LM Studio's MLX 4-bit build is 17.2 GB and Ollama's 4-bit build 19 GB, 21 to 23 GB with a fifth added, which fits 24 GB. Runtimes 25, released Transformers, vLLM, SGLang and llama.cpp run the qwen3_moe architecture, and Ollama's library and LM Studio's catalogue carry it. Builds 10 of 15, Alibaba's only quantised build is FP8. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 with nothing added. Download 10, neither repository is gated. Hosted 5, Featherless AI on Hugging Face plus DekaLLM and SiliconFlow on OpenRouter serve it. On 4 November both repositories were still ungated with no file changed since 17 September 2025, and Featherless AI was still live in the Hub's provider mapping (OpenRouter's providers per 21 October). 25 + 25 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 90.

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.

Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 75

Chat template 20, a Jinja template in tokenizer_config.json. Tool-calling format 25, Qwen's own Function Calling guide documents the Hermes-style declaration and how calls come back, and names vLLM's hermes parser. Trained tool calling 20, the template allows one or more calls a turn. Structured output 0, not documented for the model, and Qwen's docs only point to vLLM's generic guided decoding. Reasoning control 0, this edition has no thinking. Context 10, 262,144 tokens native, with the 1M mode not counted. Template and config unchanged on 4 November. 20 + 25 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 75.

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.

Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 26

Model card 11 of 20, intended use, architecture, parameters and context are there, but limitations, named languages and a knowledge cut-off aren't. Training data 5, the cited Qwen3 report describes the data in general terms without a cut-off. Last change 0, the files and card last changed on 17 September 2025 (Hub lastModified on 4 November), and QwenLM/Qwen3's commits since are documentation only (the newest 8 January 2026). Responsiveness 0, counted by script on 4 November, with 32 discussions, 23 not pull requests (the newest 18 June 2026), and the only reply from a Qwen organisation member is Haihao's on discussion 3 (30 July 2025), who isn't counted as the publisher's staff (the ehartford and danielhanchen reading). Version policy 5, the older Qwen3-30B-A3B stays in its own repository without a note. File health 5, the files agree with the card but reports about the 1M mode wait without a reply. 11 + 5 + 0 + 0 + 5 + 5 = 26.

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.

Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 55

File safety 25, safetensors only and nothing from the repository runs to load it or build prompts. Provenance 15, the files are in the Qwen organisation that Qwen's GitHub links to, with a checksum on every file. Safety evaluation 0, none published. Agent guidance 0, nothing on prompt injection, refusals or safeguards. Licence risk 15, plain Apache 2.0 whose only change was the copyright year before release. Security programme 0, no security.txt, disclosure policy or security contact for Qwen was found, and Alibaba's group security centre couldn't be checked, so it's scored as absent. Files unchanged on 4 November, and QwenLM/Qwen3 still has no SECURITY.md. 25 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 55.
