Strengths	Excellent prompt understanding Built into ChatGPT — no extra subscription Good at composition + concepts	Works like an engineer — takes Slack tasks, opens PRs Handles multi-hour engineering work Reports back with what it did	Best text rendering in the game Strong free tier Good for logos, posters, thumbnails	500+ tokens/sec on Llama/Mixtral — feels instant Custom LPU hardware Great free tier
Weaknesses	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Expensive Best for well-scoped tasks Not for solo hobbyists	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Less style variety	Open-weight models only (no Claude/GPT) Less flexibility on custom configs
Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.
