Kai's verdict	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.	S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.	A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
