Show HN: LLM-use – orchestrate LLMs for AI agents like OpenClaw, cut costs
I built llm-use, an open-source tool to run AI agent workflows across multiple LLMs with routing and cost optimization.
Repo: https://github.com/llm-use/llm-use https://github.com/llm-use/llm-use
OpenClaw-style agents are powerful but get expensive if every step runs on a single high-end model. llm-use helps by:
• using a strong model only for planning and final synthesis
• running most steps on cheaper or local models
• mixing local and cloud models in the same workflow
Example:
python3 cli.py exec \
--orchestrator anthropic:claude-4-5-sonnet \
--worker ollama:llama3.1:8b \
--task "Monitor sources and produce a daily summary"
This setup keeps long-running agents predictable in cost while preserving quality where it matters.
Feedback welcome.
