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 aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
