Brief

OpenSquilla: @hasantoxr ran a 10+ turn research workflow (published 2026-05-12) and says smart routing routed simple prompts to cheaper models and complex ones to full power, cutting his token bill by ~67% versus his usual agent while preserving memory and output quality. OpenSquilla (open-source, Python, local‑first) claims 60–80% cost reduction and launched the #10MTokenChallenge (30 winners × 10M OpenRouter credits).

Why it matters

@hasantoxr ran a 10+ back-and-forth research workflow on 2026-05-12 and reports OpenSquilla's content-aware routing sent simple prompts to cheaper models and complex prompts to full‑power models, producing a token bill ~67% lower than his usual agent while keeping memory sharp and outputs clean.

Key details

  • OpenSquilla (open-source, Python, local‑first) implements content-aware model routing, memory consolidation, and adaptive token compression; its public benchmark claims 60–80% lower model cost on mixed long‑running tasks.
  • #10MTokenChallenge: OpenSquilla is offering 30 winners × 10M OpenRouter credits across three categories — 10 Faithful Reproduction, 10 Best Savings Case, 10 Quality Bug Report — to verify claimed savings.
Source evidence

Just put @OpenSquilla through a real long-running workflow drafting and iterating on a full research analysis with 10+ back-and-forth steps.

The smart routing was insane: simple prompts went to cheap models, complex ones still got full power, and my token bill came in ~67% lower than my usual agent setup while keeping memory sharp and outputs clean.

This is exactly what I’ve been wanting for practical daily agent work. Open-source, Python, local-first game changer.

Long-running agents shouldn’t pay frontier-model prices for every turn.
We‘ve been quietly building our agent with content-aware model routing, memory consolidation, and adaptive token compression. Today, it goes public as OpenSquilla — an open-source Python agent.
Public benchmark: up to 60%-80% lower model cost on mixed long-running tasks.
Open source. Local first. Python based.
