Kai's verdictS-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.
