| 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 infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. |
