Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
