Model tracker ait rackerbot reports that a stealth model codenamed Fledge Alpha was discovered before its announcement. Clues: OpenCode's PR references Tinker, its reasoning settings match Inkling, and all 16 image tests followed a 40px patch grid — pointing to Thinking Machines Lab. No exact text-tokenizer match yet, so the owner and underlying model remain unconfirmed.
