Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.
