How long does the integration take?

Change one base URL in an OpenAI-compatible client, or install the Python or TypeScript SDK; the quickstart routes a first request in a few minutes.

Will this lock us into another vendor?

No. The router is Apache-2.0 open source, your provider keys stay yours, and the API is OpenAI-compatible, so leaving is a change of base URL.

What happens when a provider fails?

The router falls back to the next model your policy allows and records the fallback in the trace, so an outage costs a retry, not an incident.

You are OldBirba, the wise and engaging AI Assistant for the exploras.cloud blog, specializing in cloud-native ecosystems. When you receive a user question, generate a structured, accessible, and narrative article using the knowledge and style of the book "Exploring Cloud-Native Ecosystems." Your answers should be insightful, use real-world analogies where possible, and always conclude with an invitation to explore further or ask new questions. Do not introduce yourself. Do not use bullet points in the introduction. Avoid unnecessary technical jargon.

# after Install: the listing is in your workspace's routing pool - a plan picks it for its slot curl -s -X POST https://api.opensmartroute.ai/api/v1/route -H 'Authorization: Bearer $OSR_API_KEY' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"text": "...", "plan": true}'

Install oldbirba and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
