Earlier, on 24 August every GGUF file was replaced with one of a different size, and on 29 August the 24 NVFP4 shards gave way to 25, with no note on any card. Neither of the 2 discussions has any reply. The card links a missing LICENSE and the two templates disagree.

The card serves BF16 on eight H200 141 GB GPUs. Nothing fits a 128 GB machine. No inference provider or Ornith API serves it, so there is no per-token alternative to buying that hardware.

The card documents the OpenAI tools array going in and tool_calls coming back, with qwen3_xml named for vLLM and qwen3_coder for SGLang, and says reasoning returns in reasoning_content. The two shipped templates disagree on keeping earlier reasoning, so the runtime's choice changes the prompt. The card doesn't give the active parameters or document JSON output. Ornith compares it with Claude Opus 4.8 on its own runs, and no independent results exist yet.

Eight NVFP4 shards uploaded on 20 October 2026 aren't in that build's index, so an operator should pin a commit before pulling it. Ornith names no legal entity and its organisation isn't verified. There are no safety results, no cautions for the agent harnesses the card names, no security contact, and the licence link returns 404.
