| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
