Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.
