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.	B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency.	A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.
