Kai's verdictS-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
