| Kai's verdict | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. |
