Kai's verdictA-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
