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 in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
