Ornith 1.5 9B is a 9.65B-parameter model. At Q4_K_M it needs about 6.5 GB of memory. The NVIDIA RTX 5080 16GB has 15 GB usable, so it fits entirely in memory. Expect about 52 tokens/sec (44–59), with the first token after 0.3 s for a short prompt. This estimate is projected from the hardware specs; no benchmarks exist yet.
| Quantization | File size | Memory | Generation | First token | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 5.8 GB | Fits | 52 tok/s | 0.3 s | Projected |
| Q8_0 | 9.8 GB | Fits | 30 tok/s | 0.3 s | Projected |
| FP16 | 19.3 GB | Partial offload | 8.4 tok/s | 1.2 s | Projected |
