User turns ox into building a DSH plugin in 3 turns, unasked monitoring script included
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-23
A user shared their experience with the ox model: starting from a request to "kill an annoying server," it took only three turns for the model to build a full DSH plugin for managing background processes—writing the monitoring script without being asked. The author describes ox as a relatively new category of "long-horizon small subagent": meticulous, proactive, and smart but not overly ambitious, like a "forward-deployed janitor with a Ph.D." focused on its dispatched tasks. They add that GLM 5.5 will drive it harder.
