Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
