Jev Effort Router

Per-turn model AND reasoning-effort routing, decided by TypeSafe Jev, which rewrites the outgoing Ollama:Cloud provider request itself via the llm_request middleware. Every other catalog router picks a model and stops, and the two entries that touch reasoning effort move it by hand; this one decides both per turn. Ollama:Cloud only — no other provider is routed, and every failure path leaves the request byte-identical to a plugin-disabled run.

Good to know before installing

Sends the current user message and up to 4 previous turns to OpenRouter's Decisions API (typesafe/jev, billed to your OpenRouter key) on every routed turn.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs OPENROUTER_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install jev-effort-router
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable jev-effort-router
Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
