| 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 infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
