| Kai's verdict | S-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. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
