Description
Route every prompt through TypeSafe Jev and send it to the cheapest model that can handle it. Cut LLM token costs and latency — wire it up in minutes. Token Cut helps developers cut AI costs by automatically routing every request to the lowest-cost model capable of handling it. Powered by Jev, it understands each task first, then selects the right model across providers like OpenRouter, fal.ai, Replicate, and Kie.ai. One API, smarter routing, less wasted spend — without sacrificing quality.

Could you build this?
Partial While an API gateway proxying requests to different LLM providers is straightforward, reliably routing prompts dynamically based on complexity without degrading quality requires nuanced classification benchmarks and low-latency eval models.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a high-performance reverse proxy (e.g., in Go or Rust) sitting between client code and LLM APIs. The hard part is the real-time classifier: determining whether a complex prompt can be safely handled by a cheap model like Haiku/Flash or demands Claude Opus/GPT-4 requires fine-tuned embedding classifiers or lightweight distilled routing models trained on vast prompt-eval datasets to avoid accuracy regression.
