It reads JSONL log files in OpenAI format, prices your real traffic against multiple candidate models entirely on your machine, and recommends which calls to route to cheaper models and which to keep on the current model. It includes a local HTTP proxy shim for capturing logs, optional quality measurement using your own API keys, and can generate shareable HTML/Markdown reports. Based on RouteLLM research, typical savings range from 30–50% for mixed workloads. Data never leaves your machine. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
