Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
