Ornith 1.5-9B GGUF: run locally on any laptop
ornith-ai released a GGUF build of Ornith-1.5-9B — the agentic coding model now runs locally on any laptop with 8 GB of RAM.
Ornith-1.5-9B is a compact language model from ornith-ai built for agentic coding and step-by-step reasoning. The Ornith series is designed around end-to-end self-improvement — the models learn from their own outputs during training. This GGUF release packages the 9B variant as a single file readable by llama.cpp, Ollama, and compatible tools. The original version was released in a server-only format; the GGUF build brings the same model to consumer hardware without any environment setup.
Why a vibe-coder should care
The original Ornith-1.5-9B required a server to run. Now the same model installs in minutes on any laptop with 8 GB of RAM — no cloud, no subscription.
How to install
Copy this and send it to your agent — Claude Code, Codex, any of them:

A regular laptop with 8 GB of RAM or more — the 4-bit version takes around 5 GB.
