| Kai's verdict | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
