Kai's verdict	A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
