Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Evener | Open Interpreter | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 7.0 | Open Interpreter — Open Interpreter is the terminal agent to pick if you want to run Kimi, DeepSeek or a local model inside a real sandbox for free, as long as you accept that it just rewrote itself. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 6.0 | Open Interpreter — A Rust rewrite on top of Codex with a community Python fork carrying the old name means two codebases, one brand, and a harness whose roadmap belongs to someone else. |
| El Profesor | 7.0 | 6.0 | Evener — Tool use goes through each provider's native calling interface rather than a parsed text convention, and the extension points are published as runtime contracts. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 4.8 | Evener — A hundred and twenty-eight stars, a corporate name on the repository and no revenue line anywhere, so this is a company's side output rather than its product. |
| La Jefa | 5.8 | 5.0 | Evener — Free across sixty desks, and the non-interactive command line means it can actually sit in a pipeline, which is more than most of this category manages. |
| El Hacker | 6.3 | 8.0 | Open Interpreter — Apache-2.0, native sandbox, Ollama and LM Studio autodetected, MCP servers in and out of it, ACP too, and I can swap the harness; it only loses points for a name shared with a fork. |
