Why this result
Ornith-1.0-35B and Ornith-1.0-397B sit in the same Ornith 1.0 family. This page is less about two unrelated model lineages and more about how the siblings trade off on benchmark shape, token costs, and practical limits like context window.
Ornith-1.0-35B and Ornith-1.0-397B finish on the same BenchAlign overall score, so this is less about a single winner and more about where the edge shows up. The BenchAlign headline says tie; the benchmark table is where the real choice happens.
