| Kai's verdict | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
