| Kai's verdict | S-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds. |
