Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.
