| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
