Kai's verdict	A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
