| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | If you're doing neuro-AI research, this is the plumbing you've been manually building for years — finally done right by the team that actually runs these experiments at scale. Extremely narrow use case, but within that lane it looks genuinely best-in-class. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
