Kai's verdictA-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
