| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
