Enjoy Top-Tier AI at Zero Cost! The Mysterious "Niu Lai" (Ox Alpha) Is $0 for a Limited Time

A mysterious model, stealth/ox-alpha (nicknamed “Niu Lai” in Chinese circles), has appeared without warning on OpenRouter and OpenCode! The wildest part isn’t just that its performance rivals flagship models, but that it’s completely free at $0!

OpenRouter users: After getting your API Key, set the Model in your config file to: 👉 stealth/ox-alpha
OpenCode users: You can switch to stealth/ox-alpha directly in the OpenCode interface or in the opencode.json config file (or pick it directly via OpenCode’s free model channel).

Community sleuthing: Highly suspected to come from a big Chinese tech company. Freeloading on compute feels great, but please don’t gamble with your company’s IP and Data security!
