| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
