| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. |
