| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
