Kai's verdictS-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.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
