| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. |
