A free million-token AI model appeared online, takes video, retains your prompts, and has no public developer. So who built Ox Alpha?
Oscar Gallo and Matt Wozniak test the claims around the anonymous model now running on OpenRouter. Ox Alpha is free during its preview, accepts text, images, and video, supports tool use, and can return up to 131,072 tokens. Early coding results look strong. The sample is small, the comparisons are uneven, and no lab has claimed the model.
