| Kai's verdict | S-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. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. |
