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.

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.
