Strengths	Train your own models on your style/character Great for game art + concept art Generous free tier	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	300+ models from one endpoint Automatic fallbacks between providers No subscription — just pay what you use	Trained on licensed content — commercially safe Generative Fill in Photoshop is incredible Native to Adobe ecosystem
Weaknesses	General output behind Midjourney Can be overwhelming	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Slight markup over direct API Some provider features not exposed	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription
Kai's verdict	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
