Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.
