| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
