Comment on Show HN: Frugon – Find which LLM calls a cheaper model could handle (local, MIT)

Comments

Useful but how it compares with other providers model

Thanks. I'm not sure if you're asking "how does frugon compare provider models" or "can it compare across provider models" or even "how does frugon compare to other tools"...

On the first: It does this utilizing pricing from LiteLLM registry, and quality tiers from LMArena.

On the second: A log of calls for OpenAI can get recommendations for Gemini or Anthropic or DeepSeek etc. and vice versa.

On the third: It's free, local and offline. Hosted tools normally require you to plug them into your live traffic, whereas frugon reads logs you already have. And you have the benefit of exploring the source code.
