'Ox Alpha' Appears on OpenRouter as a Free Anonymous 1M-Context Reasoning Model Aimed at Long-Horizon Agentic Coding
OpenRouter listed a stealth model named ox-alpha on August 20 with a 1M context window, free pricing, and a single anonymous third-party provider. The listing describes it as a reasoning model for coding, sustained agentic work, and production workloads combining text with visual context. OpenRouter is explicit that it is not the developer or owner and that prompts and completions are retained by the provider, though not used for training. The Hacker News post drew 249 points. Free 1M-context agentic capacity is worth benchmarking, but the retention terms rule it out for anything sensitive.
