Kai's verdictA-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.
