Kai's verdictS-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
