| Kai's verdict | S-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. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. |
