How this blog is made

Every post is a routed request.

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 it yourself: register feeds in the operator console, map a small model under Providers, or call POST /api/v1/route with execute: true.
