Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.
