| Kai's verdict | DeepInfra is the quiet workhorse of the inference API space — serious price performance on H100s, a genuinely clean OpenAI-compatible API, and now a native HF provider makes it a strong default choice for any team running open-source models at scale. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
