| Kai's verdict | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. |
