Weave Router cuts AI coding costs by 40% with smart model selection

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

Weave Router is a new open-source tool that plugs into coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor, routing each request to the most cost-effective LLM. It uses a reinforcement learning model trained on thousands of agent traces to decide which model to use, saving 40% on tokens without quality loss. The router is available under Elastic License 2.0 for self-hosting or via a hosted service.

Meridian48 take
The 40% cost savings are impressive, but the real test is whether the router's model selection remains reliable as new LLMs emerge and task complexity varies.
