| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
