it's for sure better than deepseek flash 07/31

That is saying a lot if Ox Alpha is also small and relatively cheap computationally. I hope so; I love deepseek-v4-flash-0731 and use it frequently. Fast inference is good and fits with my dev style: I like to be in the loop, not let an agent code on its own for long periods of time.

It is not going to be cheaper though. I may choose the cheaper one in the end because performance will be marginal, both being flash.
