Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
