Kai's verdictA-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.
