Ox Alpha's stunning fluid sim 'one-shot' appears to be a copy of an existing GitHub repo

@scaling01 had praised xAI's Ox Alpha for one-shotting a GPU-accelerated fluid simulation in a single 1000-line HTML file, far better than Qwen3.8 27B or Opus 4.5 in his tests. He then discovered the output appears to be literally a copy of an existing GitHub repo. A fresh data point on memorization/plagiarism risks in coding-agent evals — and a reason to stay skeptical of flashy one-shot demos.
