Omen Alpha
Vintage: 2026-09. Primary evidence is verified @opencode text plus the fetched OpenCode Go page, as hydrated in 2026-09-04-x-overnight-opencode-omen-alpha-unsloth-glm-5-3-flash. Community GLM-family labels and secondary press are not a lab confirmation. The announce post has a video attachment that was not transcribed — text claims only. Do not rename this page to a GLM SKU.
Omen Alpha
One-line summary: OpenCode stealth coding model, Go-subscriber exclusive, pitched as $100 usage for $10. Identity unconfirmed overnight — Z.ai posted nothing; community “GLM 5.4 / Flash” labels are speculation.
What it is
A named stealth model on opencode’s paid Go lineup. From 2026-09-04-x-overnight-opencode-omen-alpha-unsloth-glm-5-3-flash (verified @opencode, 2026-09-04 05:29 UTC): “Omen Alpha (new stealth model) / Exclusively for OpenCode Go subscribers / $100 usage for $10.” Same-morning OpenCode Go listed Omen Alpha in the paid lineup and stated Go is a $10/month subscription.
This page records OpenCode’s name and Go exclusivity. It does not treat Omen as glm-5-3-flash or as any other GLM SKU. Prior vault identity for Ox Alpha = GLM-5.3-Flash stays on that page.
Why it matters to this thread
Stealth coding-model drops on a paid harness are in-scope (frontier / open-weight economics, chinese-open-weight-frontier-parity). The overnight clip is the first dated OpenCode announce of Omen Alpha. Community fingerprinting already routes it toward Zhipu/GLM the same way Ox Alpha was later named GLM-5.3-Flash — that pattern is unconfirmed here.
Key facts (from 2026-09-04-x-overnight-opencode-omen-alpha-unsloth-glm-5-3-flash)
- Issuer name + exclusivity: Omen Alpha; OpenCode Go only;
$100usage for$10(@opencode, 2026-09-04). Video attachment not transcribed. - Go SKU:
$10/monthsubscription; Omen Alpha listed in the Go lineup (OpenCode Go). - Zhipu data URL empty at fetch: opencode.ai/data/zhipu/omen-alpha returned “No model data” on 2026-09-04 morning. Do not treat that path as a live Zhipu attribution table.
- Community, not lab: @imnotchalk (2026-09-04): “Omen Alpha is a GLM model,” pointing at the empty data URL. Follow-up (2095785251708731700): “almost certainly a new GLM model… Most likely GLM 5.4 or GLM 5.4 Flash,” plus a claimed tokenizer match (screenshots; not independently re-run).
- Z.ai silent:
get_users_postson @Zai_org for the overnight window returned zero original posts. - Lookonchain secondary: Lookonchain / Dongcha flash (fetched 2026-09-04) repeats Go
$10/$100usage, adds claimed per-token rates ($0.20/$0.66per million in/out), and states Zhipu has not officially acknowledged Omen. Token rates are not on the @opencode announce text or the Go page fetch. - @SPAC89 benchmark videos (2095802462007374193) comparing Omen runtime to GLM-5.3 Flash / GPT-5.6 Luna Max are video-dependent anecdote — flag only; no numbers promoted.
What this source does not establish
- Not a GLM SKU. OpenCode confirms the stealth name and Go exclusivity. Z.ai has not confirmed which GLM (if any). Do not rename Omen to GLM 5.4 / Flash.
- Empty data URL vs community screenshots — attribution may have been transient or path-dependent. Not reconciled.
- Lookonchain
$0.20/$0.66is secondary until OpenCode or Z.ai publishes a model card. - Video posts not transcribed (@opencode announce; @SPAC89 benches). No video-only claims.
- Not a rewrite of glm-5-3-flash Ox Alpha identity. That page keeps Aug 2026 lab-adjacent X plus the Sep 4 Unsloth speedup.
- Not a re-file of yesterday’s Gemini 3.8 / WeatherNext / Astra public-rollout / 10am X-pass permalinks.
Contradictions / tensions
- Omen identity: OpenCode name vs community “GLM 5.4 / Flash” vs Z.ai silence. Unconfirmed.
- OpenCode data URL: community screenshots vs this morning’s empty
zhipu/omen-alphapage. - Lookonchain token prices vs announce text / Go marketing page.
Open questions
- Does Z.ai or OpenCode publish a named model card that maps Omen to a GLM SKU — or is the stealth name the durable label?
- Was the
zhipu/omen-alphadata path ever populated, or only screenshot-claimed?
