Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.
