Launch HN: Speko (YC S26) – OpenRouter for Voice AIHi HN! I'm Bek, founder of Speko, a platform that finds an optimal combination of speech-to-text, LLM, and text-to-speech models, given your constraints, among all our public benchmarked options, and tells you why.Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no2LY2gRh-cTypical production voice agent is an ensemble of three models: STT, an LLM, and TTS.Each of those layers offers a dozen credible vendors, and each month there are new models on the market. Almost everyone evaluates once, picks a stack of their choice, and never rechecks because switching from a vendor to another involves yet another integration and arguments about the numbers.The result is that you use voice agents running last quarter's models while better and cheaper options are available.Before founding Speko, I spent four years as cofounder and CTO building voice agents for enterprises across Asia in 10+ languages. Each time a new speech model would arrive, we repeated the same ritual: hire native-speaking raters, benchmark

Show HN: Effort Router: Intelligent /effort selection per Claude turnDynamic effort selection, while possible in some other tools like OpenCode, does not exist in Claude Code.Having dynamic effort set per conversation turn means:- Less tokens burned on easy queries (e.g. something low /effort can do goes to xhigh because it's the convo default)- You avoid mistakes: Prompts requiring high effort (like a refactor or security threat modeling) go to high or xhigh instead of medium to reduce likelihood of mistakes and reduce wasted tokens.I created this out of a personal need and it's been game-changing. My Claude sessions are way more productive with less back/forth.Give it a try and feel free to contribute!
