| Best for | Vietnamese/Chinese content, SEA multilingual use, developers wanting open-weight tool-use. | Essays, long-form drafts, thinking on the page. | Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs. | People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building. |

| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
