Governed LLM routing cuts AI agent costs by up to 60% · 1 source tracked

Teams building multiple AI agents often face escalating costs due to ungoverned LLM routing, where agents are hardcoded to specific models without visibility into spend. This leads to using expensive frontier models for simple tasks. Implementing a governed routing system, like Covasant's SERAA Cortex with its Agent Control Tower, separates model selection from agent function, allowing runtime decisions based on task complexity and cost. This approach can reduce LLM expenses by 40-60% by matching the right model to the task and providing cost attribution and audit logs. AI

IMPACT Optimizing LLM routing can significantly reduce operational costs for AI-driven applications and services.

    The Hidden Cost of Ungoverned LLM Routing and How to Cut It 40–60%

    <p>Every team that ships more than one agent eventually hits the same wall. Not a capability wall a bill.</p> <p>You started with one agent calling one model for one use case. The cost was easy to reason about. Then you shipped a second agent. Then a third team spun up their own …
