Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.B-tier. Useful for first drafts. v0 is the better bet for shipping code.S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
