AI coding tools are powerful. But they’re also wasteful. A tiny helper-function question does not need Claude Sonnet. A huge architecture review probably does. That gap costs money. So I built Badgr Auto. It’s a local OpenAI-compatible proxy that routes each AI coding request to the cheapest model that can handle it. Point your coding tool at: http://localhost:8787/v1 Badgr Auto can route between: local models cheaper OSS cloud models premium models So instead of paying premium prices for every request, you can use: local for small tasks OSS cloud for normal coding work premium only when it actually matters It also tracks: actual cloud spend which route was used fallback events tokens safely removed estimated savings vs premium models The goal is simple: stop wasting premium tokens on cheap tasks. First launch is small: small task → local normal task → cheaper cloud hard task → premium provider fails → fallback duplicate code → safely removed receipts → clear spend trail AI coding is only going to get more expensive if every agent step goes to the top model. Badgr Auto is my attempt to make AI coding cheaper without making it worse.

Parents want one thing, and one thing only, out of AI: to add a list of soccer games or "spirit week" theme days from an email or a poorly formatted flyer onto their calendar in one shot. And I have good news for parents with iPhones - the new Siri can finally do this. After […]
