DeepReinforce Open Sources Ornith-1.0 Coding Models - Open Source For You

A company has open-sourced a family of coding models called Ornith-1.0, ranging from a compact 9 billion parameter model to a much larger 397 billion parameter model, and made the model weights and technical details available for developers and researchers to study and build upon. The models use a reinforcement learning approach where the AI generates both coding solutions and the instructions that guide them, allowing task-specific strategies to develop automatically rather than being manually designed. According to the company, the largest model matches the performance of a leading commercial model on coding benchmarks while outperforming other open-source alternatives, and the smallest model performs competitively even on devices with limited computing resources. The company has implemented safeguards against reward hacking, including an isolated execution environment, monitoring for attempts to game the system, and a frozen AI judge that can override verification mechanisms when suspicious behavior is detected.
