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 in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
