| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
