Ornith-1.0-9B - Q4NX for FastFlowLM (AMD Ryzen AI XDNA2)

Ornith-1.0-9B is converted to Q4NX for hardware-accelerated inference with FastFlowLM on AMD Ryzen AI NPUs.

What is Q4NX?

Q4NX is FastFlowLM's native packed-quantization format - a rearranged Q4_1 layout tuned for the NPU matrix engine's tile sizes and memory access patterns. It is not a GGUF file and it does not run on llama.cpp or Ollama; it is meant exclusively for the FastFlowLM engine on AMD Ryzen AI NPUs.

Requirements

FastFlowLM >= 0.9.46 (flm CLI)
AMD Ryzen AI processor with XDNA2 (NPU2) - Strix Point / Ryzen AI 300 series or later
Linux with the XRT NPU stack installed
~15 GB of unified system memory (Q4NX weights + activations + KV cache)

Files

File	Purpose
model.q4nx	Quantized Q4NX text weights
config.json	FastFlowLM model configuration
tokenizer.json	Tokenizer
tokenizer_config.json	Special tokens and chat template
chat_template.jinja	Chat template (optional)
flm-add.py	Installer script - registers this model with FastFlowLM

Install and run

This repository works with flm-add, a small installer that copies the model into the FastFlowLM user directory and registers the tag minicpm4.6:0.8b. It never modifies the system FastFlowLM install.

pip install flm-add or uv tool install flm-add

uv tool install flm-add
flm-add Atomic-Germ/Ornith-1.0-9B-NPU2 --family qwen3.5
FLM_XCLBIN_PATH="$HOME/.config/flm FLM_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/.config/flm/model_list.json flm run ornith:9b

Kernels

FastFlowLM's NPU kernels (xclbins) are closed source and are not shipped in this repository. This model uses the qwen3.5 engine family and is shape-identical to the official qwen3.5:9b model (Qwen3.5-9B-NPU2). Point the runtime's xclbin path at the matching xclbins directory (or ship your own) before running.

Serve (OpenAI-compatible)

flm serve ornith:9b --port 8080

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/chat/completions \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"model":"ornith:9b","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}],"max_tokens":256}'
