What is the Ox Alpha model and who made it?
Ox Alpha is an unbranded AI model that appeared on Open Code without an official maker attached. Community fingerprinting analysis of video encoder token counts, tokenizer vocabulary, writing style, and audio rejection handling points with roughly 90% confidence to it being Zhipu's next-generation unified multimodal model, the company behind GLM, though this remains unconfirmed speculation. Track unfolding stealth model reveals like this one as they get confirmed, on daily.dev.
How does Ox Alpha perform on benchmarks compared to GLM 5.3 and Opus 4.8?
Ox Alpha scored 87.5% on Kingbench, placing second behind GLM 5.3 and ahead of Opus 4.8 and Qwen 3.8 Max. On a separate 10-task Deep SWA subset run independently, it outperformed GLM 5.3, Grok 4.6, and GPT 5.6 outright, though the strongest result came from the model creator's own benchmark. Comparing new model benchmarks against incumbents like GLM and Opus gets easier by following coverage on daily.dev.
What specs does the Ox Alpha model claim to offer?
Ox Alpha claims a free trial period, a 1 million token context window, multimodal support, zero data retention, and a claimed capacity of 100 trillion tokens processed per day. The free trial is expected to end around August 27th, when the maker may confirm or deny the speculation surrounding its identity.
