Kai's verdictS-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
