Weaknesses	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Image generation is weak No native web search on all tiers	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Teacher-only focus Less useful for students
Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week.
