Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.
