Kai's verdictS-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
