Bernini

- ✕Open renderer is small, so fidelity trails larger models
- ✕Very new with limited independent benchmarks
- ✕Two-stage pipeline adds complexity
✕

- ✓Strong multilingual and Chinese-language support
- ✓Competitive quality relative to inference cost
Weaknesses
- ✕Self-hosting requires significant compute resources
