Show HN: I nerfed our coding agents on purpose
A developer has created a tool called Nerfguard to optimize AI model usage by routing requests to the least expensive model and reasoning depth required for a task. This approach has resulted in up to a threefold reduction in token spend and significant time savings for engineers, allowing for increased usage of AI coding agents. The tool is now available to the wider developer community, with engineers from leading AI companies already adopting it to maximize their output and manage costs. AI
IMPACT Enables developers to significantly reduce AI operational costs and increase agent throughput.
