| Kai's verdict | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
