Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
