It looks like they're comparing Orinth 9B to Qwen 3.5 35B, not Qwen 3.6. I guess it kind of makes sense since it's a finetune of 3.5, but I totally missed until I looked closely.

In my brief tests, Ornith 35B performed quite well. It won't replace DeepSeek V4 Flash for me, but if it was fast and cheap enough it might.

I don't remember being super impressed with Ornith 9B, but I could see it being on par with Qwen 3.5 35B.
