When using Claude Code, you're typically on a single model: * **Always Opus?** You're overpaying 5x for simple queries * **Always Sonnet?** Complex architecture tasks may need deeper reasoning * **Manual switching?** Tedious and requires knowing which model fits [Claude Router](https://github.com/0xrdan/claude-router) **solves this** by automatically analyzing each query and routing it to the most cost-effective model. https://preview.redd.it/2fyff8ahx9bg1.png?width=1028&format=png&auto=webp&s=0caf4c8c0bfc9a614b7aa5e57d2ace0a46a97f21 For Claude Pro and Max subscribers, intelligent routing means: * **Extended usage limits** \- Smaller models use less of your monthly capacity * **Longer sessions** \- Less context consumed = fewer auto-compacts * **Faster responses** \- Haiku responds 3-5x faster than Opus **The result:** You pay less (or extend your subscription further), Anthropic uses fewer resources, and everyone gets appropriately-powered responses. This is sustainable AI usage. https://preview.redd.it/eb5v1hn7y9bg1.png?width=1268&format=png&auto=webp&s=97fd20e8bbdd8c063a934690f31f85f5cec3197b https://preview.redd.it/vvthyr0ay9bg1.png?width=716&format=png&auto=webp&s=95b1213e2f30513b5d46be978caec2d3281d54b4 Check it out for yourself: [https://github.com/0xrdan/claude-router](https://github.com/0xrdan/claude-router) If you like it, please share.
