Kai's verdictS-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.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.
