Kai's verdictS-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 for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
