| Kai's verdict | S-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. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
