Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
