| 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. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. |
