- What happened
- Weave Router 2.0, an open-source model router for coding agents, matches Astra performance while cutting costs 48-46% and running 2.2-2.5x faster.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building coding agents who want frontier model performance at lower cost and faster execution times should evaluate this routing approach.
- Watch out
- The router itself is not open-source weights, only the integration layer is. Performance depends on available model roster and may degrade with limited model options.
