Mentlio (YC S26) launches with a pitch of turning AI coding spend into a measurable unit: cost per PR, reuse, and downstream quality, benchmarked against industry. It claims to cut waste without touching prompts, via cache hits, less context bloat, and auto-routing. On Terminal-Bench 2.1, its local router kept 98.93% of Fable 5's accuracy at 24.9% lower cost on Claude Code.
