Kai's verdict	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	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.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
