Kai's verdictS-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
