Built Adaptive Claude Code - Cut Your AI Development Costs by 60-80% with Smart Routing

Hey Product Hunt community! I wanted to share something I've been working on that might help fellow developers dealing with expensive Claude Code bills.

The Problem: Claude Code is amazing for development - it understands your entire codebase, writes code, handles git operations, and works directly in your terminal. But the pricing tiers ($20, $70, $200/month) can get expensive, especially for teams or heavy users who need the higher plans.

What I Built: Adaptive Claude Code uses our intelligent routing API to cut Claude Code costs by 60-90% without sacrificing quality. It works by analyzing each prompt (complexity, tool usage, context) with a DeBERTa classifier and automatically routes simple tasks to cheaper models while sending complex reasoning to premium ones.

Why It's Different: Most cost-saving approaches require you to manually choose models or compromise on quality. Adaptive Claude Code makes the decision automatically in ~20ms, so your development workflow stays identical - same claude command, same codebase understanding, same file editing capabilities, just way cheaper.

Early Results: We're processing requests with an average 60-90% cost reduction compared to direct Claude API usage, with no noticeable quality difference for most development tasks.

Questions for the community:

• Which Claude Code pricing tier are you on and is cost a concern?

• What's been your biggest pain point with AI development costs vs. quality?

• Any specific Claude Code workflows (debugging, feature building, codebase navigation) you'd want me to test this on?

Would love feedback from other developers who've wrestled with this problem. You can check it out at https://docs.llmadaptive.uk/deve...
