  • Overdub ethics require care
  • Cold starts on less-popular models
  • Pricing gets real at scale
Kai's verdictA-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.A genuinely interesting evolution of video search that could make YouTube feel more like a knowledge engine, but it's still early-stage, US-locked, and paywalled behind Premium — watch this space rather than rerouting your workflow around it yet. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
