9router runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 8.2 minutes and hit 3 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
Root npm install completed, npm run build succeeded, the standalone Next.js app serves the login page (200), models API (200 with JSON model list), and version endpoint (200), and the test suite runs 2562 passing tests.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- Node.js v18.19.1 too old for Next.js 16 (requires >=20.9.0)1.5 minutes
- vitest 4.x native binding error for rolldown (missing @rolldown/binding-wasm32-wasi)1 minute
- npm install in tests/ failed with Cannot read properties of null (reading edgesOut)0.5 minutes
- Install time
- 8 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 42 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 3 hit, 3 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- npm run build succeeded (next build --webpack); app started with custom-server.js on port 20128 returning 200 on /login, /api/v1/models (JSON model list), /api/version (currentVersion 0.5.86); npx vitest run in tests/ returned 2562 passed out of 2737 tests

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load

How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Recovered from all 3 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Took 8.2 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 18 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
Of the 19 ai-agents projects Argusic has installed and timed, 9router was the 12th fastest to reach a running state, and 12 of 19 reached one at all.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
- A quick evaluation: it was running 8.2 minutes after the clone.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/9router)Questions
- Does 9router run?
- Yes. 9router runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 8 minutes, hitting 3 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test 9router?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 39e36d3d0c84. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test 9router?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.09: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does 9router take to install?
- 8.2 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does 9router need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing 9router?
- 3 things broke in the recorded run, and 3 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does 9router compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 19 ai-agents projects Argusic has installed and timed, 9router was the 12th fastest to reach a running state, and 12 of 19 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for 9router?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
