Kai's verdictA-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
