A new multi-model API gateway, FuturMix, offers developers a way to reduce Claude API costs by 10-30% without altering their code. This is achieved by routing API calls through the gateway, which negotiates volume discounts with Anthropic. The service also provides access to other models like GPT and DeepSeek, potentially cutting overall AI API spend by 40-60%. Separately, Anthropic hosted a "Code with Claude 2026" event focusing on developer experience and upcoming model advancements, while some users reported slow response times from Claude Code. AI
