Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Chorus | Mira | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.5 | 7.3 | Chorus — Pick it if you have stopped trusting a model to grade its own homework; pick a single hosted reviewer if one opinion is all your team has time to read. |
| El Crítico | 6.8 | 6.5 | Chorus — Calling it from codex exec requires --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox, so the automated path to one of its own reviewers runs with the guard rails switched off. |
| El Profesor | 7.3 | 7.0 | Chorus — Agreement between vendors is used as the pass condition, which substitutes inter-rater consensus for correctness with no published relationship between the two. |
| La Inversora | 6.5 | 6.3 | Chorus — It routes reviews through Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus and Gemini Advanced plans instead of API billing, which is clever, free for the user, and entirely at the vendors' discretion. |
| La Jefa | 7.3 | 7.3 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 8.0 | 7.8 | Chorus — Apache-2.0, chorus init registers it as an MCP server with every CLI and IDE it finds, exposing nine tools, and the daemon and its history stay on my machine. |
