Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.
