Kai's verdictS-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
