Kai's verdict	S-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 for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.	B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.
