On November 6, OpenRouter announced next-generation Auto Router (`openrouter/auto`) and Auto Code (`openrouter/auto-code`). Auto Code is built for coding agents and harnesses. It treats each request as part of a session, picks models using coding-task pass rate, completion time, and cost per solved task, and follows edits, tests, and recurring errors across turns. OpenRouter says the new router foundation outperforms the prior Auto Router by up to 4×, depending on the benchmark, with ~3× faster routing at p90 in a live test (0.65s vs 1.96s). It also says Auto Code scores in line with Claude Opus 5.5 at 74% lower cost per task across five published benchmarks. There is no router surcharge. You pay the underlying model price. Governance, ZDR, and allow/deny lists still bound the pool. Source: openrouter.ai/blog/announcements/auto-and-auto-code-routers/.
