| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. |
