Kai's verdictA-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
