| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. |
