| 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. | 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. |
