| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
