Developers claim OpenCode's mystery model was built by Zhipu.
OpenCode added a coding model called Omen Alpha on Friday and would not name its maker. Developers saw the label zhipu/omen-alpha in OpenCode's own data, but Zhipu has not confirmed anything. Nothing is verified, though OpenCode's last mystery model did turn out to be Zhipu's.
Why it mattersStealth launches let a lab collect real coding feedback before anyone judges the brand. If the guess holds, a cheap Chinese model is already doing paid work quietly.
