Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new.
