Show HN: Open-source model routing for coding agents at Astra-level performance
How do you handle provider variance on OpenRouter for the opensource models? Or do you use your own hosted version to mitigate this?

And for both opensource and closed source, does the router account for provider quality, or catch it when a provider degrades?

reply
How does this choose which models to use with any arbitrary set of model providers to work from? And why is an openrouter necessary for self-hosting?
reply
How do you define the model buckets, and what happens when a session genuinely needs a model that isn't in the bucket the HMM picked?
reply
Interesting work, and thanks for describing how your router works internally. It's definitely a fascinating subject. How would you say this compares to Cursor's auto mode?
reply
Absolutely!

Conceptually very similar to Cursor's auto mode. The key distinctions are:

- We plug into any harness (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi)

- We aren't incentivized to route to our own model, we're incentivized to route to the best model whatever it may be

reply
And similarly, Copilot’s Auto mode?
reply
Does this allow for a predefined budget?
reply
Is the model you trained available as open weights?
reply
It is not sorry!
