Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.
