Building LangChain agents? Here's the cost problem nobody talks about:

40-70% of agent tool calls don't need expensive flagship models.

A customer support agent making 1000 calls/day = $150/mo wasted on overkill routing.

Solution: Smart cascading in 3 lines.

Launch Day 7 🔄 Multi-stage pipeline + domain models

cascadeflow detects your domain (SQL, code, medical etc.) → routes to specialized small model first → cascades to larger models only if needed.

Learns YOUR domains automatically.

80% stay on cheap specialists.

Release Day 6 🤖 cascadeflow for Agents

Tool calls multiply costs. 49% cite ROI as #1 adoption barrier.

cascadeflow's drafter/verifier pattern saves 20-60% on agent systems:
- Tool call cost optimization
- Per-agent budget tracking
- Real-time spend visibility

Release Day 5 🔌 cascadeflow for edge devices

Where it all started. Run AI on performance-limited hardware:
- Fully local: vLLM/Ollama support, <10B handles most
- Hybrid: escalate to cloud only when needed
- Domain-specific models outperform flagships

Day 4 🎯 User-tier cascading

cascadeflow now assigns different AI models & cascading strategies per user tier:

- different cascade rules per user/group
- enforce spending limits and routes
- available via presets

Your strategy. Your rules. Full transparency.

Day 2 of release sprint 🎯

n8n integration is live on github! cascadeflow now plugs into your workflows.

Connect 2 models (cheap drafter + flagship verifier) instead of 1 expensive model. 70-80% of queries never touch the flagship = 40-85% cost savings.
