Across 596 routed tasks and 83 assistant turns, the router automatically assigned work to cheaper open-source models (MiMo V2.5 and GLM-5.2) and escalated to frontier models only when needed. The total cost was ~$8.25 versus an estimated $123 on a frontier model alone. The post covers router configuration, model distribution analysis, real debugging moments, limitations around external API knowledge, and when to use or avoid this workflow. Includes exact setup steps for connecting OpenCode via OAuth and calling the OpenAI-compatible endpoint directly. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
