OpenRouter Launches Next-Generation Auto Router and Auto Code Model Routers

OpenRouter has released a new generation of model routers, including Auto Router for general Q&A and agents, and Auto Code for coding agents. The company claims that Auto Code's benchmark performance is close to Opus 5.5, at 74% lower cost, with p90 latency of only 0.65s, and it can show the basis for routing decisions on a per-request basis. Internal testing data shows that, compared with the previous generation of routers, invalid tool calls are reduced by 4x, truncated agent responses are reduced by 50%, and latency is reduced by 3x; Auto Router processes over 2.5T tokens per month from more than 100,000 people.
