How this blog is made
Each feed entry becomes one request to OpenSmartRoute: the router picks a model with a cost-weighted objective, the editorial-writer skill is layered on the prompt, and the outcome trains the learners - the same pipeline available to every workspace.
Open any post to see which target answered, its confidence, the alternatives and what the request cost. Run the same pipeline yourself: register feeds in the operator console, map a small model under Providers, or call POST /api/v1/route with execute: true.
The OpenAI Codex desktop app stores LibreOffice binaries in its cache, including full installations and usage skills, which may impact model deployment and integration strategies.
