OrcaRouter joins as a Distinguished Corporate Patron with $150k in tokens
On September 17, 2026, DHH welcomed OrcaRouter as a Distinguished Corporate Patron of the Omacom Foundation, donating $150,000 in tokens—aimed first at security-tuned models such as OrcaCyber Zero 1.0 for Omarchy’s security and kernel teams.
On September 17, 2026, DHH announced that OrcaRouter is joining the Omacom Foundation as a Distinguished Corporate Patron, donating $150,000 in tokens to the Strategic Token Reserves.
Those tokens are meant primarily for OrcaRouter’s security-tuned models, to help Omarchy’s security and kernel teams. First up named in the post: OrcaCyber Zero 1.0, a coding model post-trained for vulnerability analysis, reproduction, and security research.
OrcaRouter reports that Zero 1.0 reproduces 1,478 of 1,507 real-world vulnerabilities on the first attempt in CyberGym Level 1—a benchmark drawn from 188 open source projects, or a 98.07% pass rate. DHH says the foundation wants to see how it performs on the security and kernel problems in front of Omarchy’s teams.
In the announcement, the OrcaRouter team describes itself as a security-first AI gateway and execution layer for agents: adaptive routing, guardrails, an agent firewall for tool/MCP calls and egress, ZDR/privacy controls, and end-to-end observability across cloud and local runs.
They also publish open-weight cybersecurity models, with more than 1.5 million Hugging Face downloads in the past 30 days. Zero 1.0 is described as in closed beta for trusted security research, vulnerability work, and red-team workflows.
This is a patronage-and-token announcement—not a claim that Zero 1.0 already ships inside every Omarchy install. Open the news post for DHH’s full welcome and the quoted team description.
