| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. |
