Kai's verdictS-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.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
