| Kai's verdict | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
