So far, no one has claimed it. When will the Ox model find its "mother"?
On August 20, 2026, an anonymous large language model named "Ox Alpha" suddenly topped the OpenRouter leaderboard and set a new record for single‑day usage. Since "Ox" translates to "bull" in Chinese, and it happened to coincide with the popularity of the movie Niu Lai (Bull Comes), netizens gave it the down‑to‑earth nickname "Niu Lai Model."

The technical specs of the Niu Lai model are truly impressive: it boasts an ultra‑long context window of 1,048,600 tokens, enough to accommodate a medium‑sized codebase. Programmers who tested it found that on certain tasks its performance can match or even surpass the well‑known model
