Strengths	Works like an engineer — takes Slack tasks, opens PRs Handles multi-hour engineering work Reports back with what it did	Tens of thousands of models (image, video, audio, LLMs) One-line API for any model Cog framework for custom model deploy	Up to 20-sec clips at 1080p Strong physics + scene composition Storyboard feature for longer narratives Remix existing videos	Clean writing UX — distraction-free +++ prompt triggers AI help Collaboration + AI feedback together
Weaknesses	Expensive Best for well-scoped tasks Not for solo hobbyists	Cold starts on less-popular models Pricing gets real at scale	Stricter content policy than competitors Hit-or-miss on complex motion Text-in-video still struggles	Less feature-rich than Google Docs AI ceiling below dedicated tools
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.	A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.	A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.
