Kai's verdictA-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
