In plain words

This open-source tool enables routing between different AI models for coding agents, delivering performance comparable to Astra-level systems. It's designed for developers building AI-assisted coding applications who need to optimize model selection and resource allocation. The tool stands out by providing enterprise-grade routing capabilities in an open-source package, allowing developers to achieve high performance without proprietary constraints.

    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…
