Comment on Show HN: Smart model routing directly in Claude, Codex and Cursor

Comments

Large model companies will likely build this and make it better. It'll also be cheaper overall since they'll be subsidizing token cost if you use them directly vs third party router paying API costs

I would argue they do not have a good incentive to build this and make it better. Why would Anthropic route Claude Code traffic to DeepSeek (at 20% of the cost)?

They'll route traffic to Haiku or one of their cheaper models, not third parties. Overall cost will end up being cheaper than whatever you are doing

We welcome the competition :)
