Analysis Suggests Ox Alpha Distilled from GLM-5 Weights
koltregaskes · x · 2026-08-23
The OrcaRouter team released test analysis speculating on the construction of the Ox Alpha model.
- Core Speculation: Ox Alpha is likely distilled from recent GLM-5 weights, supplemented with post-training on frontier thinking traces to enhance long-horizon planning capabilities.
- Naming Guess: If it represents the next generation of GLM, the team suggests it corresponds to the GLM-5.x Flash version.
- Disclaimer: All conclusions are currently based on analysis and speculation, with no insider information to confirm them.
