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. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
