Intelligent Model Routing
Empire LLM gives Codex bounded external-model reviews, quarantined proposals, benchmark research charts, cost-approved media generation, secure local settings, and paid-response recovery. Public-web research uses Codex native tools only and stops at access restrictions; third-party web extraction and managed browser actions are removed in 1.7.2. More

Empire Benchmarks Fetch current Artificial Analysis language-model benchmarks, join exact OpenRouter model identities, apply transparent weighted scoring and modality requirements, and render a sandboxed vertical comparison chart in supported Codex or ChatGPT surfaces. Empire Cost Policy Resolve and enforce Empire LLM economic boundaries before external-model routing. Empire Handoff Route one bounded planning checklist or single-file implementation proposal to an external model, quarantine and validate it outside the repository, and let Codex preview, download, adversarially review, approve for consideration, or reject it without automatic application. Empire Image Route one bounded image-generation or image-edit request to a current non-OpenAI OpenRouter media endpoint, preview and authorize its cost, validate the returned image, and quarantine it outside the repository while Codex remains in control. Empire Readiness Score Empire LLM Codex publishing readiness from 1 to 10 and maintain an evidence-based Codex App Store to-do loop covering engineering, security, live routing, publisher identity, public legal URLs, artwork, submission tests, release state, and real-diff acceptance. Empire Review Route one bounded code review or second opinion to a current non-OpenAI model through OpenRouter, optionally enriched with Artificial Analysis data, while Codex remains the lead worker. Empire Settings Configure, inspect, or remove Empire LLM credentials and project budget settings without exposing secret values. Empire Video Route one bounded text-to-video or image-guided video request to a current non-OpenAI OpenRouter media model, preview and authorize cost, manage the asynchronous job, validate the MP4, and quarantine it outside the repository while Codex remains in control. Empire Public Web Research Research publicly accessible web sources using Codex native web tools, cite the evidence, and report unavailable sources.
