Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.
