  • Composer for multi-file edits
  • Runs Claude, GPT, Gemini — you pick
  • 500+ tokens/sec on Llama/Mixtral — feels instant
  • Custom LPU hardware
  • Great free tier
  • Very strong motion + physics

  • Great price
Weaknesses
  • Terminal-based — learning curve
  • Can't be used without Claude subscription
  • Can feel overwhelming for non-coders

  • Open-weight models only (no Claude/GPT)
  • Less flexibility on custom configs
  • UX is rough for English speakers
  • Queue times
Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
