What you can do with Hi Route

HiRoute is a local model router that sends routine agent work to economical models and keeps stronger models for hard tasks, while managing subscriptions, API keys, sessions, usage and cost in one place.

4 use cases

  • Cut Codex and Claude Code costs with difficulty routing

    Send routine reading and fact gathering to cheaper models while hard design work stays on your primary model.

    View prompt
    Using the HiRoute repo at https://github.com/higress-group/HiRoute, set up difficulty routing for <target agent client> so routine turns use the regular model group and hard turns use the primary group. Report the published routing plan name and the model group chosen for the last three turns in a session. Verify that the sessions view shows the actual model that ran and its cost.

  • Route drafting and review to separate model groups

    Use custom task branches so drafting and review each get the model that fits their category and difficulty.

    View prompt
    Using the HiRoute repo at https://github.com/higress-group/HiRoute, configure a routing plan with separate drafting and review custom task branches for <target project>. Report which model group each branch uses and the category HiRoute chose for two sample turns. Verify that a low drafting score does not change the review category.

  • Delegate independent tasks to other agents through a Worker plan

    Hand separate, independent tasks to other agents while Hi Route tracks their execution and cost.

    View prompt
    Using the HiRoute repo at https://github.com/higress-group/HiRoute, expose a Worker plan that delegates <list of independent tasks> to other agents. Report the status and model group of each delegated task. Verify that each delegated execution appears in the local session view with its usage and cost.

  • Audit which model ran each agent step and what it cost

    Check per-session model, usage and cost so you can tune routing with real execution data.

    View prompt
    Using the HiRoute repo at https://github.com/higress-group/HiRoute, review the most recent session for <target agent client> and list each turn's task category, actual model group, usage and cost. Verify that the model shown is the one that actually ran, not the one the routing plan intended.

How to use Hi Route

  1. Check you have what it needs: macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon or Intel, or Linux x86_64 or ARM64 (aarch64) for the headless CLI and daemon; An existing Codex or Claude Code subscription, a registered API, or a compatible custom API to connect; A decision model connection (Bailian, OpenRouter Jev, TypeSafe, or a compatible endpoint) for model-based judgment.
  2. Open higress-group/HiRoute on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run curl -fsSL https://hiroute.ai/install.sh | sh to install the current-user CLI and daemon on Linux without sudo.
  4. Run hiroute service start --output json to start the local service, then run hiroute system status --output json to confirm it is running.
  5. Connect your Codex or Claude Code subscription, API key, or compatible custom API in Hi Route.
  6. Open Models, then Decision models, and connect Bailian, OpenRouter Jev, TypeSafe, or a compatible endpoint.

These steps come from our top use case, Cut Codex and Claude Code costs with difficulty routing, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
