Kai's verdictS-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.
