Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Autohand Code CLI | Klaat Code | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 6.3 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 5.0 | 5.3 | Klaat Code — A classifier you cannot see chooses which model answers and escalates on its own, so the same prompt can be handled differently tomorrow with no record of the change. |
| El Profesor | 5.8 | 6.8 | Klaat Code — The repository is indexed into a call graph with semantic search, so the agent asks for symbols, callers and blast radius and plans its read order before opening a file. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.0 | Autohand Code CLI — 184 stars, a company domain with a product page, and a permissive giveaway with no paid edition anywhere near it, which is a distribution play with no second act written yet. |
| La Jefa | 5.5 | 5.5 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 5.5 | 4.0 | Autohand Code CLI — Apache-2.0 and my own key, provider switching mid-session, and no way to attach the servers I run or the weights on my own machine. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
