Kai's verdictA-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.
