| Kai's verdict | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
