Newmen · Smart Routing Case Studies

Same apps. Half the bill.

We point real coding agents at Newmen with nothing but an API key and ask them to build genuine apps — twice. Once on the client’s default model, once with Newmen smart routing. Same prompt, same client, same code. Only the bill changes. Every figure is pulled straight from the gateway’s usage records.

Claude Code

We pointed Claude Code at Newmen and built the same physics game twice — once on its default model, once with smart routing. Same prompt, same client, near-identical result.

Codex

Codex now runs through Newmen with env config alone — no proxy. It built a Web Audio synth studio, and smart routing billed that generation ~30% under the default model's rate. Honest trade-offs and a now-working direct path included.

OpenCode

OpenCode against the same brief, built two ways. Both paths shipped a working synth studio; the routed run came in ~42% cheaper on the build call. Real, gateway-logged numbers — slower throughput and a leaner app noted candidly.
