Kai's verdictA-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
