OpenSquilla

An AI agent that saves money by sending each request to the cheapest model able to handle it.

Research-backedNew this week

What it does

OpenSquilla is an AI agent you can use from a web page, a command line or chat apps. A built-in router on your own computer picks the cheapest model that can handle each step, which its makers say gives more capability for the same budget.

It also has memory that lasts between sessions, a sandbox for running tools safely, web search and on-device text search. It can talk to more than 20 AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenRouter and local models through Ollama.

Who it's for
