Strengths	Best-in-class writing + nuanced reasoning 1M context on Opus Artifacts for code/docs Lowest hallucination rate in my testing	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Upload anything, ask questions, get cited answers Audio Overview turns docs into a 10-min podcast Great for studying
Weaknesses	Image generation is weak No native web search on all tiers	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Google-only Can be slow on large corpora
Kai's verdict	S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs.
