Launch HN: Tokenless (YC S26) – Automatic model switching to save money
The launch update
Hi HN, Rohit here from Tokenless (https://usetokenless. com/), which I’m building alongside co-founders Andrew and Kev.
What changes
We’re building an API gateway which routes agent traffic dynamically turn-by-turn between different models to save on AI spend. The cost of AI tokens is top-of-mind for many.
The setting
Companies like Uber and Salesforce have been complaining about blowing their yearly AI spend faster than expected
Where this fits in Signal Ledger

Signal Ledger on launch
Frontier models are amazing for dev work, but are so expensive. While using coding/other agents, I constantly agonized over model choice.
