Liner Model API: Cost-Aware Model Routing
API that automatically routes each LLM request to the cheapest model capable of handling it; Liner claims over 50% internal token-expense reduction after deploying Liner Orchestrator in August.
Why it matters
Per-request quality-vs-cost evaluation across workloads from simple Q&A to coding, reasoning, and deep research: developers never manually pick, benchmark, or switch models; validated on Liner's own production spend, not just lab benchmarks.
What you could build with it
Build an open budget-orchestrator proxy mirroring this: score each request's complexity first (a CLM-8B or Jev call), route cheap tasks to small open models and hard ones to frontier: an indie version of Liner's cost router for your own agent stack.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge: announced 24 Sep 2026 and only press-release coverage so far; no independent user deployments or verified cost-savings data.
