Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.A genuinely interesting evolution of video search that could make YouTube feel more like a knowledge engine, but it's still early-stage, US-locked, and paywalled behind Premium — watch this space rather than rerouting your workflow around it yet. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.
