No. Ornith-1.5 35B-A3B (MoE) does not fit on M3 16GB: Default needs 24.8 GB and 10.7 GB is usable.
Hardware: M3 16GB · Model: Ornith-1.5 35B-A3B (MoE)
M3 16GB has 16 GB of unified memory and 100 GB/s of memory bandwidth. M2 16GB has the same memory and bandwidth, so the fit numbers match; this page is M3 16GB. The checker leaves macOS a share of unified memory, so Ollama can use 10.7 GB. Ornith-1.5 35B-A3B (MoE) (35B, 3B active, Ornith) at Default is a 23 GB download and needs 24.8 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
