Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for conversation. A-tier for TTS. Complement to ElevenLabs, not replacement.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.
