AJChadha · x · 2026-08-22
A user on X claims that Ox Alpha, the anonymous model performing impressively on Hermes, is rumoured to come from Zhipu (Z.ai) and belong to its GLM series. The original tweet noted that Ox Alpha has been phenomenal on Hermes, outperforming OpenAI models on tasks, and speculated about which company built it.
Note: this is unconfirmed rumour, though it aligns with earlier community speculation about quietly tested GLM models.
