Kai's verdict	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
