Kai's verdictA-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
