Model self-identifies as "Claude" instead of as the Ornithopter/9b variant

Hi,

I downloaded and am running the ornith-1.5:9b model locally via Ollama (Windows),
using the command:

ollama run ornith-1.5:9b

When I start a conversation, the model introduces itself as "Claude" (an assistant
created by Anthropic) rather than identifying itself as the Ornithopter variant or
referencing the version I requested.

I'm reporting this because I expected the model to clearly identify itself as the
Ornithopter build (and ideally reference the 1.5:9b version). It's a bit confusing
to users who know they're running Ornithopter, since the self-introduction suggests
this is the original Claude rather than the community build.

Expected behavior: The model should identify itself as the Ornithopter project
and ideally acknowledge the version/quantization it's running.

Actual behavior: The model responds as if it were the original Claude, with no
indication of being the Ornithopter build.

Environment:

  • OS: Windows
  • Model: ornith-1.5:9b
  • Runner: Ollama

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run ollama run ornith-1.5:9b
  2. Start a new conversation
  3. Ask the model to introduce itself
  4. It responds as "Claude"

Could you help confirm whether this is expected or whether the model config needs
updating? I think it might be worth checking that the model metadata/config reflects
the Ornithopter build rather than the base Claude identity.

Thanks!

might be it's calling claude internally that's why it took 60 to 150 sec to respond
