Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
