  42T tokens of Ox Alpha in 6 days Most used model after DeepSeek Flash's 56 day run Reveal in a few hours

  A reveal that surprised absolutely nobody, but has given Zai a lot of good will & press. Free trial to encourage greater adoption is standard marketing practice. I would not overstate “the cost

• @xenoimpulse @xenoimpulse on x

  So the Google guys engaging in vague posting surrounding this were just full of hot wind for no real reason?

• @ohlennart Lennart Heim on x
