| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
