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.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
