| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. |
