Free AI Model for Ignite UI Code: 32-Test Benchmark
A 32-test benchmark pitting a paid AI model (claude-sonnet-4-6) against a free one (big-pickle) on the same Ignite UI authentication build across Angular, Blazor, React, and Web Components. Both tied at 94% - the free model got there because Ignite UI MCP servers and Agent Skills supplied the exact component APIs and icon names it lacked. Web Components is the one case where the MCP server is required, not optional.
