  • Very photoreal
  • Best open-weight model
Weaknesses
  • Less hyped than Midjourney
  • Learning curve for non-designers
  • Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code
  • Model quality varies

Kai's verdictS-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
