xeophon · x · 2026-09-04
A mystery model called Omen Alpha has quietly appeared in OpenCode's model list, with no announcement, no model card, and no vendor attribution, sitting alongside Kimi K3, GLM-5.3, DeepSeek V4, and Qwen3.8.
- Pricing: $0.20/1M input, $0.66/1M output, $0.04 cached reads; $10/month OpenCode Go subscribers get a dedicated $100 monthly quota for it
- Availability: OpenAI-compatible API, model ID omen-alpha, already pluggable into other agents
- Identity unknown: the poster confirmed it is not from Zhipu (Zaiorg), even though the model itself claims to be GLM; the only confirmed details are 0-day data retention and no training use
Vendor, parameter count, and capability level all remain undisclosed.
