Kai's verdictB-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
