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. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
