Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.The concept is genuinely compelling — turning the home screen into a living AI layer is a smarter bet than yet another chat interface — but this is vaporware until it ships publicly and we see whether Apple's sandbox lets it breathe. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.
