| 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. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. |
