Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point.
