Overview

The Economist Agent manages compute resources by prioritizing high-performance subsidized free models (Llama 3.3, Qwen 3.6) to ensure the PSF operates at zero marginal cost whenever possible.

Phase A: Demand (PRD)

1. Purpose

Minimize system-wide compute costs by aggressively routing to free tier providers.

Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)

1. Architectural Intent

Dynamically route to OpenRouter's :free model list for Reflexive and Cognitive tiers.

2. Semantic Interfaces

Routing Logic (Zero-Toll Fleet)

(in-package :org-agent)

(defun economist-route-task (context)
  (declare (ignore context))
  '(:openrouter)) 

(defun economist-get-model-for-provider (provider &optional context)
  "Returns 100% Free/Subsidized model IDs from OpenRouter. Updated April 2026."
  (let ((complexity (ignore-errors (uiop:symbol-call :org-agent.skills.org-skill-router :router-classify-complexity context))))
    (case provider
      (:openrouter
       (case complexity
         (:REASONING "meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct:free") ; High fidelity, zero cost
         (:COGNITION "qwen/qwen3.6-plus:free")               ; Latest interaction, zero cost
         (t "meta-llama/llama-3.2-3b-instruct:free")))       ; Ultra-fast reflex, zero cost
