| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
