Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.
