Kai's verdictA-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.
