OpenRouter launches Auto Router and Auto Code, a new generation of model routers

OpenRouter introduced two model routers: Auto Router, for general Q&A and agents, and Auto Code, for coding agents. It says it shows how the routing decision is made for each request.

The figures are OpenRouter's own claims: Auto Code benchmarks similar to Claude Opus 5.5 while costing 74% less, and has a p90 latency of 0.65 seconds.
