Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
