| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. |
