- Documentation and upkeep, Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 +15: 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.); Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 51 (Model card 11 of 20, missing architecture, context and a cut-off.)
- Reach, Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 +10: 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…); Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 85 (Memory 25 of 30, Jackrong's IQ4_XS GGUF is 15.4 GB, about 18.5 GB with a fifth added, which fits 24 GB.)
