Model Auto Routing - OpenRouter alternative

I just received below announcement from openrouter which has been my problem statement, any open source alternative?

openrouter/auto picks the model per request

Set the model field to openrouter/auto and each request routes to a model chosen for that task. A lightweight classifier assigns the prompt a task type, then ranks candidate models by what the OpenRouter community spends on that kind of work over the trailing 7 days. Routing itself adds no fee.

You can do something similar with OmniRoute, that is the closest I have found.

How I tried automating combos but it didn't work

I use a combo with several models of differing levels and the "intelligent Auto" routing strategy. I do not use it often but it does seem to work when I do.

I wanted a cost-per-task vs. intelligence matrix to use for the task, not just intelligence alone. With new models coming out every day, how can you auto-update it? OpenRouter's auto model has pricing and usage, which I couldn't make Omniroute do, even after setting up a 30-minute cron job to automatically update the table.

Interesting. Thanks, I will surely evaluate it.
