Ornith-1.0-35B backs Claude Code via hf-claude
DeepReinforce AI's Ornith-1.0-35B, an open-source mixture-of-experts (MoE) model specialized in agentic coding, is now available to use within Anthropic's terminal-based assistant, Claude Code, via the hf-claude Hugging Face CLI extension. By configuring this integration, developers can leverage Ornith's self-scaffolding reasoning and active parameter efficiency to run complex local codebase workflows directly inside the Claude Code interface.
Allowing developers to swap out proprietary backends for specialized open-source coding models in terminal agents is a major win for privacy, cost control, and customization.
- –Ornith-1.0-35B uses reinforcement learning to output scaffolding-like thoughts, which aligns perfectly with Claude Code's agentic loop.
- –Using hf-claude makes Hugging Face's model catalog a direct competitor to proprietary API providers for local developer workflows.
- –Success depends heavily on how well Ornith handles tool call formatting compared to Anthropic's native models.
