Summary
A side-by-side canvas test compares Qwen 3.5 35B A3B and Ornith 1.0 35B on three paper destruction tasks (slice, shredder, crumple), with Ornith decisively winning, demonstrating the value of post-training on Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4.

3 ways to destroy a piece of paper.
Qwen 3.5 35B A3B vs. Ornith 1.0 35B, side-by-side canvas test.
(Why 3.5 not 3.6? Ornith is post-trained on Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4, so this shows what the post-training adds.)
Same 3 challenges: Slice: three blade swipes, fruit-game style Shredder: desktop strip-cut Crumple: balled up and tossed
Winner: not close. Ornith, decisively. The post-training quality is REAL.
