Bito launches Governor to cut coding-agent costs by 40–70%

Bito released Governor, a model router that sits between coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex and the models they call. It trims redundant code-search context and picks the right model and reasoning level, which Bito says cuts agent spending by 40–70%. In a Privado test, cost per task fell from $4.12 to $2.14 and steps dropped from 47 to 23.

• Bito claims 40–70% savings while maintaining quality
• Privado test: cost per task fell from $4.12 to $2.14 (−48%), steps from 47 to 23
• Governor builds a code graph and answers agent queries via a smaller model
• Supports Anthropic- and OpenAI-compatible APIs and team provider keys
