Ox Alpha has been unveiled as GLM-5.3-Flash, but what's shocking is that the 100T tokens per day is served on Chinese chip. (1/3)🧵
100T tokens per day free tokens and people were saying only frontier labs has this amount of compute. (2/3)

But ALL traffic was served on Chinese chips, attaining hardware efficiency and per-token cost comparable to Nvidia GPUs. The cuda moat is being tested once again after Jalapeño's announcement yesterday. (3/3)
token — The chunk of text a model reads and writes in — roughly three-quarters of a word — and the unit AI usage is billed in.
inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
