Unknown AI Lab Offers Ox Alpha With 100 Trillion Free Tokens a Day

3 articles · Updated · Wccftech · Aug 22

Summary

  • Ox Alpha appeared anonymously on OpenRouter and OpenCode on Aug. 20, offering a week of free access with capacity of up to 100 trillion tokens a day.
  • The model advertises a 1 million-token multimodal context window, a 131,072-token output limit, and a focus on coding, long-horizon reasoning, and agentic production workloads.
  • Benchmark and architecture clues have fueled guesses that it is an unreleased model from Zhipu, DeepSeek, SpaceXAI or Microsoft, with recent analysis pointing to Microsoft's MAI 2 because Ox Alpha uses OpenAI's cl100k_base tokenizer.
  • The scale of the giveaway has intensified scrutiny because only a few labs appear able to sustain that throughput, underscoring a new phase of aggressive live-testing and competition in frontier AI models.
