What HN said

What people liked

  • Multi-model systems seen as better than single models for complex tasks.

    From 1 comment
    • I would like to see this (and any model router, frankly) benchmarked against two things, personally: 1) Claude Code's "advisor mode" (nominally, Sonnet 5.5 with a Fable advisor)…

Objections

  • Benchmarks from the maker are synthetic and not trusted by some commenters.

    From 1 comment
    • I’m not really sure, I can’t say I trust any kind of synthetic AI benchmarks. > Also I’m very interested in the unique failure cases you’re referring to! What have you noticed?…

  • Frontier-labeled training data may limit exceeding frontier model performance.

    • If you are training on data labeled by frontier models, how do you expect to exceed the performance of frontier models, other than in the cost dimension by recognizing simpler…

Requests

  • Support for local or LAN hosted open-weight models.

    • Can it route to locally or LAN hosted Qwen or some other open weights model?

  • Support for GitHub Copilot as a provider.

    • Sounds very interesting. Do you have plan to support gh copilot as model provider?

Questions

  • How does it compare to Cursor auto mode?

    From 1 comment
    • Interesting work, and thanks for describing how your router works internally. It's definitely a fascinating subject. How would you say this compares to Cursor's auto mode?

  • How are non-cache input tokens and provider variance handled?

    From 2 comments
    • That sounds really quite interesting- one question pops up, this sounds like it could produce a lot of non-cache input tokens. How much impact does this have, and are you…

    • How do you handle provider variance on OpenRouter for the opensource models? Or do you use your own hosted version to mitigate this? And for both opensource and closed source,…
