Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
