The Problem

You're on Claude Pro ($20/mo), Max ($100/mo), or Max ($200/mo) — a flat subscription, not pay-per-token.

But Claude Code routes every request through your quota: file reads, quick questions, routine edits, and complex reasoning all burn the same limited budget. Claude throttles after roughly 40–50 messages in a 5-hour rolling window.

The result: your session hits the wall in under 2 hours, and you wait.

Prompt	Quota burned	Actually needs Claude?
"What does this function return?"	✗ Yes	No
"List files matching *.test.ts"	✗ Yes	No
"Write a test for this function"	✗ Yes	Probably not
"Re-architect this auth system"	✓ Yes	Yes

Simple questions and complex reasoning cost the same quota. That's the inefficiency Chuzom fixes.

The Solution

Chuzom routes each prompt to the cheapest capable model before spending Claude quota.

    🎯 chuzom → gemini-2.5-flash · code/moderate · 342ms · saved Claude quota!

A typical developer session burns ~200,000 Claude tokens. Routing ~80% of prompts to free models saves ~160,000 Claude tokens per session — the difference between hitting the limit in 2 hours vs. working a full uninterrupted day.

Tool	Cost	Best for
Ollama (local)	Free	Simple questions, syntax lookups, file ops
Codex CLI	Free (via GitHub Copilot)	Code generation, refactors, test writing
Gemini CLI	Free (via Google account)	Moderate reasoning, explanations, summaries
Claude	Your subscription quota	Complex reasoning, long context, architecture

Why People Install This

AI coding tools send too many prompts to premium models by default.

That means:

• ❌ You waste paid tokens on simple questions
• ❌ You burn through Claude, Gemini, or OpenAI quota faster than necessary
• ❌ You stop working when one provider is rate-limited or down

Chuzom sits between your coding tool and your model providers. It classifies each prompt, tries the cheapest capable model first, and falls back automatically when needed.

You keep the same workflow. The router changes the model choice underneath.

⏱️ 3–5× Longer Sessions Route 80% of prompts to free models — hit quota limits far less often

✅ Quality Preserved Premium models only when the task truly needs it

🛡️ Quota Protected Auto-downgrade near limits. No more rate-limit walls

⚙️ Zero Config Works out of the box with Claude Pro/Max subscription

Real-World Savings

Typical Claude Code heavy user — mix of questions, code review, and debugging (~1,000 prompts/week):

Approach	Claude tokens/week	Sessions per day before limit	Extra spend (if buying API)
All prompts → Claude	~200,000	1–2 sessions	$18–40/week
Chuzom (smart routing)	~40,000	6–8 sessions	$2–6/week
