| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. |
