| Kai's verdict | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
