| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
