Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
