| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
