Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier if you're on Mac. The fastest way to get AI answers without context-switching.
