Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
