Kai's verdictS-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
