| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. | S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
