ox-alpha

An anonymous reasoning model called 'stealth/ox-alpha' has been available free on OpenRouter since Aug 20, 2026, with undisclosed operators but community fingerprinting suggesting it is an unreleased multimodal sibling of Z.ai's GLM-5.3. On the Agents on Rails benchmark (Aug 2026, Le Mans round), it scored 82.5% accuracy on 63 runs, tying with Grok 4.6 and trailing the Opus 5 / Kimi K3 / Fable 5 cluster, with a median inference time of 19 minutes 26 seconds. The model offers 1M context, 131K max output, text/image/video input, and text output, with mandatory reasoning levels.

premierAn anonymous “stealth” reasoning model served free on OpenRouter (stealth/ox-alpha

) starting Aug 20, 2026. The operator is undisclosed; community tokenizer + error-code fingerprinting strongly suggests Z.ai’s GLM-5.x family (an unreleased multimodal sibling of GLM-5.3), but no lab has claimed it.

Specs: 1M context, 131K max output, text/image/video in, text out, mandatory reasoning (low/high/max). Free during the preview (~$0 in/out).

Agents on Rails benchmark (Aug 2026, Le Mans round). 82.5% accuracy on 63 runs - tied with Grok 4.6 and behind only the Opus 5 / Kimi K3 / Fable 5 cluster. API recall 28.6%. Slow (19m 26s median, the third-slowest field) but strong. Treat identity and numbers as preliminary until the reveal; if the GLM fingerprint holds, it is a mid-tier frontier coder at preview price.
