Context-Aware LLM Router for AI Coding Assistants

A smart proxy or IDE extension that intercepts developer prompts, analyzes task complexity, and automatically routes simple tasks to fast/cheap models (Sonnet/Haiku) and complex planning to heavy models (Opus). This prevents the 'overthinking' hallucination loop and saves users from burning expensive tokens.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • Your tasks are too easy for Opus on high effort, this will cause overthinking and hallucinating
  • Opus is hallucinating and lost in loops of thought so frequently these days
  • It took 20 minutes to complete 2 out of 7 tasks in it. Claude outputted BS and was hallucinating
  • Burned many tokens ( basically anthropic stole from me )
  • first day of using sonnet and opus, my usage limit finished
  • without a subscription, I'd be 'underperformimg' due to new standards
