Mystery AI model Ox Alpha tops coding benchmarks, identity unknown

Ox Alpha, a free 'stealth model' launched August 20 on OpenRouter, OpenCode, Cline, and Nous Research's portal+, offers a 1M context window and multimodal input. A viral 10-task DeepSWE sample scored 80%, but full 113-task runs landed near 63%, roughly level with GPT-5.6 Sol. Speculation points to Zhipu AI's GLM-5.
