New Agentic Coding Model Ornith 9B — Is It Worth Running Locally?

In this video I test out the new open source agentic coding model Ornith 1.0 9b on my 16gb M4 Mac Mini. We load it up in Lm Studio and understand the full memory requirement for weights + context, we plug it into pi agent harness to run it through a coding task, we then compare results to that of the bigger Ornith 35b model, and finally we understand if the 9b is worth running locally for coding tasks.
