Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
