Best forDevs wanting offline/local LLMs for privacy or experimentation.Designers, brand teams, anyone needing vector output or tight style control.Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic.

Kai's verdictS-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
