It is probably from Google and is probably hosted on Vertex AI. Opencode announced that responses from Ox Alpha should be better and soon posted about Vertex eu and us multi region update in their changelog. I could be a Gemini model or a new one based on GLM based on tokenizer. Also the amount of inference it is providing for free is something only google can support with its TPUs. So maybe a GLM based model running on TPUs.
I've seen a number of people report that it answers near-identically to mainland CN built models on topics related to controversial things the CCP doesn't want to talk about. I'd be extremely surprised if it's a Google model.
I extremely doubt it's Gemini - all previous Geminis have had very different output style from other models. In a coding harness Gemini is extremely quiet and mostly just does thinking and tool calls, with the thinking blocks heavily summarized.
Also Claude and the Chinese models really like to say "Let me X", Geminis preference is "I will X".

Other folks were correct and I was wrong! It has come out as GLM 5.3 Flash.
