OpenPaths: auto task-tier routing and hosted models, as a Nodecode provider. A Nodecode rewrite of lee101/hermes-openpaths by lee101.

OpenPaths serves an OpenAI-compatible wire at https://openpaths.io/v1. With this cell, /connect offers OpenPaths, /models lists its models, and a turn on one of them goes out in the form OpenPaths takes:

• the roster is led by its task-tier routes — auto, auto-easy-task, auto-medium-task, auto-hard-task, auto-think — which pick a vendor model per request; the vendor ids it fronts follow
• reasoning_effort is sent in OpenPaths' own vocabulary, none/low/medium/high/auto: a pick it does not take is lowered to the nearest level it does (minimal becomes low, xhigh and max become high), turning reasoning off sends none, and an auto-think route with no pick at all is sent auto
• nothing is sent for a model when no effort was picked, so OpenPaths' own default applies

The model list is OpenPaths' own /models, read once at start and refreshed hourly, with models.dev's rows for context and prices where it publishes them. Before either has been read, the list is the curated one the original named.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the openpaths cell", or run nodecode add nc://openpaths.

Set it up

Make an API key at openpaths.io, then pick OpenPaths in /models and paste the key when the picker asks, or set OPENPATHS_API_KEY in the environment. A saved key wins over the variable. The address is optional, for a relay or a proxy:

{
  "openpaths": {
    "base_url": "https://openpaths.io/v1"
  }
}

Use it

Ask for a model — /models lists what OpenPaths currently serves — then talk as usual. /think offers the rungs an OpenPaths route takes; a pick outside them is lowered to one it does before the request leaves.

Defaults, if you want them up front: auto-medium-task is the general route, auto-easy-task the cheap one for side work (compression, summaries), auto-hard-task for the difficult turns, and auto-think for a route that reasons before it answers.
