| Tagline | OpenAI's image model. Built into ChatGPT Plus. | Run any open-source AI model with an API call. | The pro's AI video tool. Gen-4 is the current bar. | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. |

| Best for | ChatGPT Plus users who want images without paying extra. | Developers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc). | Marketing video, pitch decks, b-roll, creative shorts. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. |

| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
