| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
