| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
