| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
