Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
