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 designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.
