| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
