Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
