Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
