| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. The best open model for Vietnamese + Chinese. Don't sleep on it if you work in SEA. | A-tier for ops automation. B-tier for simple copy (use Claude). |
