Kai's verdictS-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
