Kai's verdictA-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
