| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
