We built a model router that plugs into coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) and intelligently sends requests to the best model to serve them. Here's a quick demo of running it locally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isKhAyivtfM. At Weave, we write most of our code with AI, and it's been getting more expensive. This came to a head when Opus 4.7 was released and, thanks to its tokenizer changes, our costs shot up. We knew we didn't need Opus for everything but we didn't want to lose out on the intelligence for the cases where you really need it. So we decided…

Hi HN, We’re building https://www.switchpoint.dev – a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s API that reduces LLM cost by smartly routing across models (e.g., Claude, Gemini, GPT-4) depending on subject and difficulty of the task. Why we built this: LLM costs are spiraling—especially for products doing retrieval, agentic reasoning, or even just high-volume chat. We were frustrated with paying GPT-4 rates when most queries didn’t need it. So we built a router that: - Starts with cheaper/free models (like Llama 8B, 4o-mini, 2.0 flash) - Streams responses and upgrades on failure - Acts…

We built AI Subroutines in rtrvr.ai. Record a browser task once, save it as a callable tool, replay it at: zero token cost, zero LLM inference delay, and zero mistakes. The subroutine itself is a deterministic script composed of discovered network calls hitting the site's backend as well as page interactions like click/type/find. The key architectural decision: the script executes inside the webpage itself, not through a proxy, not in a headless worker, not out of process. The script dispatches requests from the tab's execution context, so auth, CSRF, TLS session, and signed…
