  • Cog framework for custom model deploy
  • 500+ tokens/sec on Llama/Mixtral — feels instant
  • Custom LPU hardware
  • Great free tier

Weaknesses
  • Terminal-based — learning curve
  • Can't be used without Claude subscription

Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
