I CUT MY CLAUDE CODE API BILL FROM $1200 TO $373 USING ENTELLIGENCE MODEL ROUTER

We've been building Model Router at @EntelligenceAI for the past few weeks, and I've been using it every day before recording this walkthrough

Everyone's been token maxxing for the last year, but I think we're entering the cost maxxing era. If you're using Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, there's a good chance you're paying frontier model prices for tasks that don't actually need them

Here's how Model Router fixes that and the savings I've seen so far
