Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.
