Weave Router 2.0

Subscription Aware Coding Agent Router (GPT-6 Intelligence)

Weave Router 2.0 launched on September 11, 2026 with 341 votes, #27 of 8,042 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Weave Router 2.0 is an open-source coding agent router that automatically directs prompts to the most cost-effective language model capable of completing each task. Designed for development teams using AI coding agents, it maintains output quality while reducing large language model spending by 30-60% by reserving expensive frontier models for complex tasks. The tool integrates with existing workflows and is available through a freemium model with paid plans starting at $50 per engineer monthly.

From the sources

Weave Router sends every prompt to the cheapest model that can do the job. Same quality, 30-60% lower LLM spend. Open source, live in a day.

Weave reads every turn your agent takes and sends it to the cheapest model that’ll get it right — saving the frontier ones for when it counts. Weave reads every turn your agent takes and sends it to the cheapest model that’ll get it right — saving the frontier ones for when it counts. Same Codex harness, same tasks, two attempts each — Router and GPT-6 Astra paired on the same day and package. Cost and time are per trial. Quality is pass@2: a task counts if either of two attempts passed. Router and Astra are paired; OpenRouter is a separate run on the same tasks and graders. Charts share a scale within each metric. A complexity classifier trained on 10× the sessions of 1.0 scores it in…from weaveos.com

Pricing, as stated on its site

Free tier, paid plans from $50/mo — Freemium model with Starter plan at $0, Pro plan at $50/engineer per month (billed monthly), and Enterprise plan with custom pricing.

  • Smart model routing directly in Claude, Codex and CursorJun 2026 · github.com · ▲216

    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 just launched Verdent, an AI coding agent that actually plans before it codes, tests its own work, and delivers production-ready results without you having to clean up after it. tl;dr Check out the website [1] and read the story [2] - The problem: Current AI tools dump code and leave you to debug. You ask for "build a login endpoint" and get a passwordless JWT mess that doesn't fit your project. We've talked to hundreds of engineers who are frustrated with having to micromanage AI output. - What we built: Verdent works more like a senior engineer. It asks clarifying questions…

  • Context GatewayMar 2026 · github.com · ▲220

    We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…
