| Kai's verdict | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
