Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
