Official Prism launch note on per-turn model routing for coding work, framed around cost control without forcing teams onto one model family.
Gives the model-routing topic a concrete product example where the routing decision happens inside an IDE and CLI workflow.
Prism is tokenmaxxing discipline in product form: route expensive coding turns only when the expected quality gain justifies the extra cost.
Useful as a vendor-supplied routing signal, but treat the savings numbers as Augment claims rather than independent benchmarks.
BerriAI/litellm
An OpenAI-compatible gateway and SDK for calling many model providers with budgets, logging, load balancing, guardrails, and cost tracking.
langfuse/langfuse
Open-source LLM engineering platform for observability, traces, metrics, evals, prompt management, datasets, and playground workflows.
langchain-ai/langgraph
A framework for building resilient stateful agents with explicit graphs, persistence, human-in-the-loop flows, and controllable execution.
Express Computer interviews New Relic India's Ganesh Narasimhadevara on why AI bills keep climbing while the blended cost per million tokens has fallen over a year, from $18.40 in Q1 2025 down to $6.07 in Q1 2026.
Rachanee Singprasong and Chitresh Saxena lay out three layers of Bedrock cost visibility: native CloudWatch metrics plus CUR 2.0 caller-identity attribution, then model invocation logging, then OpenTelemetry in the client.
At Splunk .conf on Sept. 15, Cisco added a Tokenomics module to Splunk Agent Observability. It attributes token spend across AI agents and across employees' use of coding agents, naming Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
