[Zhipu Claims Ox Alpha, Open Source Tonight] Beating AI News Flash: Zhipu has officially claimed Ox Alpha, stating that it is the new version in the GLM series, and the model weights will be made public tonight. Ox Alpha anonymously launched on OpenRouter last weekend, quickly becoming the most-used model on the platform after being made freely available, with usage surpassing DeepSeek by more than double. It is primarily designed for programming and long-duration Agent tasks, while also supporting text, image, and video inputs. Zhipu will allow everyone to use Ox Alpha for free for one week, with pricing details yet to be announced. Previously, the community had already narrowed it down to Zhipu through clues like API error reports and tokenizer details. Now that the official claim has been made, this round of the 'guess the model' game has essentially come to an end. [Original Link]
