Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
