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.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.
