Mystery Model OX ALPHA Appears on OpenRouter with Top-Tier Coding Benchmarks and No Filters
heypearlai · x · 2026-08-21
A new AI model named OX ALPHA has mysteriously appeared on OpenRouter without any official announcement. It is currently free to use for a week. Early tests indicate it "smoked" other major models in coding tasks and features virtually zero safety filters. Speculation suggests it might be a stealth test of Zhipu AI's upcoming GLM-5.3, similar to past incidents where major firms tested models anonymously.
