Kai's verdict	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.	S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.	A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
