Not every Claude Code subagent needs a frontier model

WHAT IT SOLVES

AI coding agents burn tokens fast, but subtasks vary wildly in how much intelligence they actually need

WHY IT'S INTERESTING

★ Product taste

Route inside the agent, not at the user level

Claude Code spawns subagents constantly. Rayline intercepts at this layer — simple tasks get routed to local or cheap models, only the hard ones hit frontier. 60–90% token savings isn't marketing; it's what the architecture naturally enables

★ Real craft

Open-source local router + hosted gateway, shipping both

Rayline Local is open-source, runs on your Mac with on-device models. Rayline Cloud is a hosted gateway — one endpoint, every major model provider. They claim billions of tokens routed daily. This is infra, not a weekend project

「Routes Claude Code subagents to on-device and cheaper models」

— davidvgilmore

TECH GUESS

Likely Go or Rust routing layer, local side probably uses MLX/Ollama for on-device inference, cloud side is an API gateway
