TaglineRun any open-source AI model with an API call.Qwen's open-source GPU kernel library that squeezes 2–3× more speed out of linear attention on NVIDIA Hopper hardware — if you're lucky enough to own one.AI search done right. Cited answers, not chat theater.Grammar check + tone + AI drafting, everywhere you type.

Best forDevelopers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc).ML engineers and researchers running Qwen3.x linear-attention models on H100/H200 clusters who need to close the gap between theoretical GDN efficiency and actual hardware throughput.Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.Non-native English writers, business email, anyone who types a lot.
Strengths
  • Tens of thousands of models (image, video, audio, LLMs)
  • One-line API for any model
  • Cog framework for custom model deploy
  • 2–3× forward-pass and ~2× backward-pass speedup over FLA Triton kernels on Hopper GPUs
  • Gate-driven automatic intra-card context parallelism boosts SM utilization in long-sequence, small-head-count regimes without manual config
  • Hardware-friendly algebraic reformulation reduces Tensor Core, CUDA Core, and SFU overhead with no numerical precision loss
  • MIT licensed and fully open-source — drop it straight into Qwen3.x training and inference pipelines
  • Sources every claim
  • Fast, current answers
  • Pro Search runs multi-step research
  • Spaces for persistent context
  • Works in every browser/app
  • Now has generative AI (GrammarlyGO)
  • Tone detection + suggestions
Weaknesses
  • Cold starts on less-popular models
  • Pricing gets real at scale
  • Extremely narrow hardware requirement: SM90+ only (H100/H200, DGX Spark) with CUDA 12.8+ and PyTorch 2.8+ — useless outside Hopper-class clusters
  • GDN/Qwen-specific: not a drop-in replacement for FlashAttention-style softmax kernels, and won't help you if you're not running linear-attention Qwen models
  • Very new, minimal community adoption or third-party validation yet
  • Not a general chatbot
  • Answers can be shallow on complex topics
  • Can feel naggy
  • Premium features gate basics
  • Privacy concerns (reads your writing)
Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A genuinely impressive, laser-focused kernel optimization from the Qwen team — real speedups on real hardware — but its utility is gated behind Hopper GPUs and Qwen's GDN architecture, making it a niche power tool rather than a broadly useful library. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
