| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
