| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. |
