By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An open-source AI coding agent named Anvil has been released, designed to route different stages of a coding pipeline to various LLMs based on their specific strengths. This approach allows for cost optimization by using cheaper, local models for simpler tasks and more powerful, premium models for complex reasoning and review stages. The agent supports multiple LLM providers and is configurable via a YAML file, aiming to offer flexibility and avoid vendor lock-in. AI
