Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.
