FAQPage Schema

How do I route Claude API requests to the cheapest available model?▼

You can route Claude API requests to the cheapest capable model by deploying a zero-dependency Node.js proxy that automatically evaluates and directs traffic based on cost-aware scoring across LIGHT, MEDIUM, and HEAVY model tiers.

Does the iblai-router proxy support OpenRouter backends for Claude model routing?▼

Yes, the routing proxy supports OpenRouter-compatible backends alongside native Anthropic Claude models, allowing you to consolidate and dynamically route API traffic through a lightweight scoring engine to minimize spend.

How do I automatically reduce Anthropic API costs for background cron jobs?▼

To reduce Anthropic API costs for background cron jobs, you can apply cost-aware routing across your deployments to automatically redirect interactive sessions and subagent traffic to the cheapest Claude model that can handle the workload.

Can I update model routing configuration without restarting the Node.js proxy?▼

Yes, you can update model routing configurations without restarting the proxy because it supports hot-reloadable config files, allowing dynamic adjustments to your traffic distribution and cost-optimization strategies on the fly.

What is the best way to integrate a cost-optimization router into an OpenClaw deployment?▼

The best way to integrate a cost-optimization router into OpenClaw is by running a scriptable installer that automatically registers the routing provider, enabling seamless traffic direction to Anthropic and OpenRouter backends.
