Exoroute: An AI router built with rust

A developer has released Exoroute, an AI router written in Rust, as a lightweight alternative to Omniroute, which the developer said consumed over 2.8 GB of RAM for just 11 connections. In testing with 14 concurrent users, Exoroute reportedly used roughly 1.3% CPU and 80 MB of RAM on the developer's personal Linux machine, though the figures may vary by device. The 0.1.0 release is installable via npm and is seeking user feedback.

I previously used Omniroute, but it consumed over 2.8 GB of RAM for just 11 connections; consequently, I developed Exoroute as a solution to address resource usage issues for AI routers.

I am currently testing it with 14 concurrent users, and it utilizes approximately 1.3% CPU and 80 MB of RAM (please note that these figures are based on my personal Linux device and may not reflect performance on all devices).

Install via: `npm i -g exoroute`

This is the 0.1.0 release, and I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
