| Tagline | OpenAI's video model. Long clips, cinematic quality. | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. | Microsoft/GitHub's autocomplete. Deep VS Code + JetBrains integration. | Chinese open-weight powerhouse. Crazy cheap, genuinely smart. |

| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
