Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
