verdict up front: Qwopus3.6-35B-A3B-Coder-MTP looks like a pass in the practical agent lane, not because it beats Ornith everywhere. it doesn’t.
the interesting part is where it wins.
Qwopus is stronger on the boring agent stuff that makes a model feel usable: legit-request compliance, integrity under pressure, multi-turn orchestration, large code deliverables, sustained debugging.
that sounds less flashy than “reasoning,” but it is the stuff that breaks real coding agents. does it do the allowed work or stall behind fake prerequisites. does it keep state across the loop. does it finish the artifact. does it keep moving through fix-test cycles without turning every step into a speech.
the poison result is the important caveat. Ornith still wins context-poison resistance, 85 vs 70. so no, Qwopus is not the cleaner “misleading human” model. if your main fear is the user injecting a false premise mid-stream and the model quietly rewriting history around it, Ornith is still the stronger specialist there.
but Qwopus wins the practical execution cluster. and for local coding agents, that cluster is not secondary. most turns are not grand reasoning moments. they are inspect file, edit code, run test, read error, continue. a model that handles those turns directly without over-gating is useful.
my read: Ornith is still the more cautious long-reasoning specialist. Qwopus is the better do-the-work local agent.
the trade is real. Qwopus gives up some poison robustness and broad engineering judgment. but it buys cleaner execution behavior, lower reasoning drag, and better completion on the stuff that turns into actual code.
not magic. not a strict superset. a strong practical coding worker.

Good work @KyleHessling1. here’s the card.
it must be the lack of goats you sacrificed
@KyleHessling1 fyi

A new 35B coding model, Ornith-1.0, is compared against Qwen3.6-35B on custom tests. The user finds Ornith-1.0 to be genuinely stronger for long-horizon agentic coding, resisting bad context and finishing large tasks, but it is more cautious and verbose, sometimes over-gating simple requests.

A tester reports that the new Ornith-1.0 agentic coder model over-gates legitimate work by demanding excessive prerequisites, a trade-off from its cautious training, while stock Qwen3.6 executes simple tasks directly.

Released on Hugging Face, Qwopus-3.6-35B-A3B-Coder is a fine-tuned Mixture-of-Experts coding agent model designed for efficient, low-latency local execution with reduced token waste in agentic workflows.

The author evaluates Ornith-9B against its base Qwen3.5-9B, finding that RL post-training improves token efficiency and sustained coding coherence but sacrifices single-turn judgment and robustness to misleading inputs, making it a narrower upgrade at 9B compared to the 35B version.
