| 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 open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. |
