Sadly they don't seem to have 36B-A3B models on their roadmap any more, they didn't do one for 3.8 either. I agree it was a nice sweet spot between speed and capability, I still use the 3.6 version of 36B-A3B for larger-scale local work. Maybe someone else will aim for that. Or Qwen4 will do something new with the architecture that makes it unnecessary.

    My Hermes instance periodically checks the overall open-weight LLM landscape, and it recently recommended trying Ornith 1.5 35B-A3B.

    I haven't tried it yet, but on paper, it sounds like it has some potential.

    Heh, I downloaded that one just recently, I read that it was good at natural prose and I've been working on a little pet project to make a framework for auto-writing short stories based on a simple premise. Haven't tested it extensively yet though.
