# CC-M: Claude Model Router

> Route every request to the cheapest model that can handle it.

**Status:** Commercial product

## Problem

Teams default every call to the most expensive model and overpay.

## What it does

A lightweight proxy that classifies each request and routes it to the cheapest capable Claude tier, with live cost tracking. A simple lookup goes to a small model; a hard reasoning task goes to a large one. A commercial enterprise edition adds policy controls, cost caps, analytics, and licensing.

## Measured results

- **3 tiers** auto-routed
- **Commercial** shipped & monetized

## Stack

Python, FastAPI, Anthropic API, Docker, Stripe (enterprise edition)

## Topics

AI, LLM, Architecture
