Kai's verdictA-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
