Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
