TokenSwitch aims to cut AI token spend by routing work to cheaper models
A repost says TokenSwitch can save a lot of tokens by avoiding the default habit of sending everything to the most powerful frontier model.
- The original post argues that many teams overspend because they route every task to the top model.
- It says Gauntlet AI hit a real cost problem in production and solved it with this approach.
- The takeaway is a model-routing pattern: use the strongest model only when needed, and switch to cheaper options elsewhere.
- The repost says the system looks useful enough to try inside Codex.
