| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
