| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. |
