What is ornith-flight?

ornith-flight is an open-source project by Sai Dutta Abhishek Dash, a founder and engineer based in Odisha, India. It belongs to the AI & Language Infrastructure category, and is a C99 Inference Engine for 35B MoE on Consumer Hardware. Expert-streaming C99 inference engine for Ornith 35B MoE — runs 20 GB models on 8 GB Apple Silicon via per-layer streaming I/O. Zero Python, pure systems engineering. The primary implementation language is C. It uses C99, MoE, Apple Silicon, Inference, Systems Programming. Targets the Ornith 35B mixture-of-experts architecture and streams experts per layer rather than loading the full parameter set. Written in C99 with zero Python dependencies, as pure systems engineering. Other systems in the same track are AgentLoop, PhishScout, MarkItDownJS, and Hinglish-Bench. The full source code is public at https://github.com/instax-dutta/ornith-flight. Sai Dutta Abhishek Dash has shipped 22 open-source production systems, maintains 85+ public repositories on GitHub, and has published 46+ models and 22+ datasets on Hugging Face.
