| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. |
