Kai's verdictA-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
