Kai's verdict	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	Stripe Link is the most credible first move toward a real agentic payment layer — the one-time-use card model is genuinely clever, and the existing merchant network gives it a head start no startup wallet can match. But the 'approve every transaction' UX will get old fast, and the hard part (autonomous spending with guardrails) is still on the roadmap. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)	A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
