switchboard
v0.1·routing claude code + codex

Make your Claude Code & Codex tokens last longer.

Switchboard quietly routes the easy stuff to smaller models — so Opus and GPT-5 are there for the work that actually needs them.

Switchboard ships in Observe mode. Watches every request, tells you what it would route. Flip to On when the numbers convince you.
