Best For Professions:
Mentat’s original AbanteAI CLI is archived, unsupported AI coding software; it is distinct from the later MentatBot service.
The Python CLI accepts files to read/edit and supports manual or embedding-based context selection. Archived documentation describes model-provider configuration and a VS Code companion.
The archive-old-cli-mentat repository was archived January 7, 2025 and explicitly says it is no longer maintained or supported. Accessible Apache-2.0 code is a legacy option, not a currently supported hosted service.
Archived source has no hosted subscription requirement; external model and infrastructure charges are separate. The later MentatBot service has separate availability and terms.
Archived documentation supports OpenAI, Anthropic and Azure OpenAI configuration, with compatible endpoints and LiteLLM/Ollama examples. These old examples do not guarantee compatibility with current provider APIs.
Demonstrations of the later MentatBot service do not describe this archived CLI.
