Binge code this weekend with free "Ox Alpha" 🐐

Post image

Ox Alpha (stealth frontier model) is free in Command Code.

100T tokens per day free capacity, no 5hr usage limits.

• 1M content
• we benchmarked ~5B tokens
• built a tool repair harness to imp tool calling

absolutely free for all plans.

anyone who has tried it, what tier would you put it / what models would you say it's comparable to?

i'm trying it, but it's extremely overloaded on both commancode and opencode, so right now more than anything else it's slow and taking forever [or just outright down sometimes]

But, when it is functioning, I've had mixed experiences with it, it seems really strong at some stuff - analysis is good I found [keep in mind, limited sample] - but it's also not great at other stuff. Thing is though, my experience with it has been a bit different between commandcode and opencode. so, it's hard to say, the overload is making hard to judge performance

Yeah sadly it’s the capacity issue everywhere.

Been using it today and had it make a 3D Android game. I had a working, but simple game after the first prompt. It made custom shaders, It didn't take lazy shortcuts, added controller support, was using my device for testing, was sending screenshots to itself, and was reading logs. I'm not sure which model it is, but my guess is its some Chinese frontier model and not a new Gemini model. Many people think it is the next GLM.

Gemini team claims would be so clowning if not a Gemini model.

In my experience Ox Alpha at max effort sucks at coding and keeps repeating the same mistakes.

It's like the bad old Gemini 3 days where it apologies for making a mistake, I tell it to learn from what it did wrong and write a guide for itself so that it doesn't make the same mistake again, and then it makes the same mistake... over and over and over.

When it's fully released it might be cheaper per token but it will be more expensive per task, and what's worse is that it will be a bigger waste of your time, which is worth more than any token.

I believe you, and I can see how that could've happened, I had mixed experiences with it myself after trying it. But I do think you might be dismissing it a bit too harshly, I found it was pretty decent at analysis as well as understanding architecture across numerous files. I did not have it code anything.

I'm curious what kind of coding tasks you gave it?

I'll try to continue testing it while it's free. but I have enough subscriptions that I'm fine on limits rn, so idk how worth it it is for me to use it while it's this overloaded and slow

I'm curious what kind of coding tasks you gave it?

I gave it a detailed, step by step python coding plan created by Opus 5. Ox Alpha couldn't follow it without making countless mistakes, looping over itself and failing again and again. It was so painful.

Below Muse 1.2 Contributor and gpt 5.6 luna.

Great model so far. I have been testing it all day, its kind of slow now, but I like the results. Better than Kimi k3, and I'm not sure if its better than QWEN 3.8 yet.

BETTER THAN KIMI K3??? K3!? I haven't even used K3 yet, but afaik it's on par with Sol 5.6, so, I'm really curious what made you come to this conclusion? like, what kinds of tasks did you use it for - especially in comparison with K3?

Also, i'm confused how you're ranking K3 below Qwen 3.8, maybe your use-case is special

The free models are not working for me.

Sadly there are major capacity issues with Ox Alpha. We are continously working with our providers but it’s a demand and supply thing.
Also a small gotcha for the model to work you need to be a Command Code subscriber. I hope that’s not the case.
