Intended to help with biosecurity, it works with a popular AI protein design tool.

How OpenSmartRoute helps
A team routing requests through OpenSmartRoute gains control over biosecurity risks without changing their current setup. The router scores every candidate on safety before sending a request to a model. This ensures sensitive protein designs never leave a secure, on-premises environment if rules require it.
The system learns from outcomes, so models that handle biosecurity tasks well get more traffic. If a model fails a safety check, the router sends less traffic to it automatically. This reduces the chance of accidental leaks in AI-generated biological data.
The hosted platform keeps a models catalogue with prices and public rankings built from real traffic. A team can add a new biosecurity rule as one catalogue entry and test it with 'osr eval'. The savings ledger shows exactly how much money the router saved compared to using a single, expensive model.
