OpenRouter launches Auto Code router for coding agents at ~74% less cost per task
Announced Nov 6, OpenRouter’s new openrouter/auto-code router picks a model and reasoning effort each turn for coding agents, weighing pass rate, speed, cost, live pricing, and cache—OpenRouter says it scores in line with Claude Opus 5.5 at 74% less cost per task. You pay the selected model’s price; set model to openrouter/auto-code (or rebuilt openrouter/auto for general work).
