彭博社报道智谱认领牛来模型

(Aug 26): The new AI model that’s swept to the top of online usage charts with high performance at zero cost was created by China’s Z.AI Co, also known as Zhipu.

（8 月 26 日）：这款新的 AI 模型以极高的性能而脱颖而出，跃居了网络应用排行榜的榜首。该模型是由中国的 Z.AI Co 公司开发的，该公司也被称为“拼趣”。

The company on Wednesday confirmed speculation that the Ox Alpha model is a new iteration of its GLM series and said it will release the weights for it tonight in response to queries by Bloomberg News.

该公司周三证实了有关 Ox Alpha 型号是 GLM 系列新款产品的猜测。针对彭博新闻社的提问，该公司表示将于今晚发布该产品的规格信息。

Still free to use, Ox Alpha surged to the top spot on AI marketplace OpenRouter’s leaderboard, more than doubling DeepSeek’s use. The plan to openly release its weights, the parameters that guide decision-making in artificial intelligence systems, will allow developers to build other products on top of the model.

Ox Alpha 仍然可以免费使用，它在 AI 市场 OpenRouter 的排行榜上跃居榜首，其使用量比 DeepSeek 的模型高出许多。该模型计划公开其权重参数，这些参数用于指导人工智能系统的决策过程，这将使得开发者能够基于该模型开发出其他产品。

Ox Alpha emerged over the weekend as an uncredited release on OpenRouter — the biggest launch in that marketplace’s history — and quickly gained traction among curious observers and users. It’s a reasoning model designed for coding and agentic tasks, and it can process text, image and video input, according to its description. Patrick Collison, the CEO of Stripe Inc, which is acquiring OpenRouter, called the stealth-mode release “very impressive".

Ox Alpha 在周末通过 OpenRouter 平台发布，这一发布并未获得官方认可——尽管它是该平台历史上最重要的产品发布之一。很快，这款模型就在好奇的用户和开发者中引起了广泛关注。根据描述，这款推理模型旨在用于编程和任务执行，能够处理文本、图像和视频输入。正在收购 OpenRouter 的 Stripe Inc 的 CEO Patrick Collison 称，这款低调发布的模型“非常令人印象深刻”。

Ox Alpha is one of a series of powerful models launched by Chinese firms this summer that have shown benchmark-topping performance at a much lower cost than US rivals, intensifying the AI race between the world’s two largest economies. The code name for the model was inspired by a popular film recently released in China, titled Niu Lai — or “Ox Comes” — according to Z.ai.

Ox Alpha 是今年夏天由中国公司推出的一系列强大模型之一，这些模型在较低的成本下便展现了卓越的性能，远远超过了美国竞争对手的产品。这一模型的代号灵感来源于中国最近上映的一部热门电影《牛来》，据 Z.ai 称，该电影的名字就是“牛来”的意思。

The Beijing-based company reprised the practice used by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and Xiaomi Corp this year of releasing a new model without initially claiming the credit. By not publicising their ownership at the outset, tech companies can test the waters for new services, allowing more freedom to experiment with their frontier products.

这家总部位于北京的公司采用了阿里巴巴集团和小米公司今年采用的策略——即推出新产品时并不立即声称其所有权。通过不立即公开自己的所有权信息，这些科技公司可以试探市场对新服务的接受程度，从而更有自由地试验他们的创新产品。

The company is giving everyone a week to use Ox Alpha for free and has not yet specified the cost thereafter. It will issue its first detailed earnings report on Monday, covering the first six months since its public listing in January.

该公司为每个人提供了一周的时间来免费使用 Ox Alpha 软件，但并未明确说明之后的使用费用。公司将于周一发布第一份详细的财务报告，其中会涵盖自 1 月份上市以来的前六个月业绩情况。

The launch of Ox Alpha highlights the breakneck speed of Chinese product releases as companies advance their technology. Earlier this month, Z.ai released its latest flagship model, GLM-5.3, which the company said can rival Anthropic PBC’s Fable 5 on some benchmarks.

Ox Alpha 的发布凸显了中国在产品推出方面的高速发展态势，随着企业不断推进技术创新，新产品层出不穷。本月早些时候，Z.ai 推出了其最新的旗舰产品 GLM-5.3。该公司表示，在某些性能指标上，这款产品的性能可以与 Anthropic PBC 公司的 Fable 5 相媲美。
