Ornith-1.0-35B — APEX GGUF

APEX (Adaptive Precision for EXpert Models) quantizations of Ornith-1.0-35B, an open-source coding MoE model by DeepReinforce (MIT license, based on Qwen 3.5 architecture).

These quants were produced using the apex-quant toolchain. APEX is a MoE-aware mixed-precision quantization strategy that classifies tensors by role (routed expert, shared expert, attention) and applies a layer-wise precision gradient — edge layers get higher precision, middle layers more aggressive compression.

Files

Each profile comes in two variants:

Base — the quantized model standalone
-MTP — includes the bundled MTP (multi-token prediction) head, quantized to Q8_0 (near-lossless), for self-speculative decoding via --spec-type draft-mtp. Requires a recent llama.cpp build with MTP support.

I-variants were calibrated with a diverse importance matrix (chat, code, reasoning, tool-calling, multilingual) for improved downstream accuracy.

File	Profile	Size	Best For
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Mini.gguf`	I-Mini	14 GB	Smallest viable, fastest inference
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Mini-MTP.gguf`	I-Mini + MTP	14 GB	Smallest viable + self-spec
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-Compact.gguf`	Compact	17 GB	Consumer GPUs, general purpose
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-Compact-MTP.gguf`	Compact + MTP	17 GB	Consumer GPUs + self-spec
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Compact.gguf` 🏆	I-Compact	17 GB	Consumer GPUs, best quality at this size
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Compact-MTP.gguf` 🏆	I-Compact + MTP	17 GB	Consumer GPUs, best quality + self-spec
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-Quality.gguf`	Quality	22 GB	Highest quality standard
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-Quality-MTP.gguf`	Quality + MTP	23 GB	Highest quality + self-spec
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Quality.gguf`	I-Quality	22 GB	Highest quality with imatrix
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Quality-MTP.gguf`	I-Quality + MTP	23 GB	Highest quality + imatrix + self-spec
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-Balanced.gguf`	Balanced	24 GB	General purpose, best trade-off
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-Balanced-MTP.gguf`	Balanced + MTP	25 GB	General purpose + self-spec
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Balanced.gguf` 🏆	I-Balanced	24 GB	Best overall — lowest KL divergence
`ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Balanced-MTP.gguf` 🏆	I-Balanced + MTP	25 GB	Best overall + self-spec

Profile Precision Breakdown

APEX applies a layer-wise precision gradient to MoE expert weights. I-variants additionally use a diverse imatrix (chat, code, reasoning, tool-calling) that improves downstream accuracy and lowers KL divergence.

Profile	Edge (blk 0-4, 35-39)	Near-Edge (blk 5-9, 30-34)	Middle (blk 10-29)	Shared Expert	Attention
Quality	Q6_K	Q5_K	IQ4_XS	Q8_0	Q6_K
Balanced	Q6_K	Q5_K	Q5_K	Q8_0	Q6_K
Compact	Q4_K	Q3_K	Q3_K	Q6_K	Q4_K
Mini	Q3_K_M	Q3_K_M	IQ2_S	Q4_K	Q3_K_M

Quality and Mini use a 3-tier gradient. Balanced and Compact use a simpler 2-tier gradient (edge vs. middle) — their "Near-Edge" and "Middle" columns are the same precision.

MTP Head

The bundled MTP head (blk.40.* including the nextn.* projection + norms) is quantized to Q8_0 (near-lossless) for high draft accuracy. Enable with:

llama-server -m ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-...-MTP.gguf --spec-type draft-mtp

Usage Examples

llama.cpp server (basic)

llama-server \
  -m ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Compact.gguf \
  -ngl 99 \
  -c 32768 \
  --flash-attn on \
  --temp 0.6 \
  --top-p 0.95

With self-speculative decoding (MTP variants)

llama-server \
  -m ornith-1.0-35b-APEX-I-Compact-MTP.gguf \
  --spec-type draft-mtp \
  -ngl 99 \
  -c 32768 \
  --flash-attn on

llama.cpp server with vision

Ornith has a built-in vision encoder. Vision support in GGUF format is experimental — if a compatible mmproj becomes available, pass it with --mmproj.

Hardware Notes

Profile	Minimum VRAM	Recommended VRAM
I-Mini	16 GB	24 GB
Compact / I-Compact	20 GB	24 GB
Quality / I-Quality	24 GB	32 GB
Balanced / I-Balanced	24 GB (tight)	32 GB+
