| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
