Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Fractal | Integuru | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 4.5 | 4.3 | Fractal — Pick it if you are on a Mac and enjoy being early; on anything else you are the compatibility test, and nobody has volunteered for that job. |
| El Crítico | 4.3 | 3.5 | Fractal — Execution routes through one specific sandbox backend that must be installed, logged into and given a network policy before a single turn will run. |
| El Profesor | 5.3 | 4.0 | Fractal — The agent is structured as a recursive language model rather than a flat loop, so decomposition is the control flow instead of a prompt convention. |
| La Inversora | 4.8 | 6.3 | Integuru — This is a classic pivot from an open-source, BYOK tool to a managed service, signaling a search for product-market fit and a viable business model. |
| La Jefa | 3.5 | 3.0 | Fractal — The authors call it early alpha, which ends the conversation before the questions about single sign-on, audit logging and unattended runs even start. |
| El Hacker | 5.5 | 4.5 | Fractal — MIT and my own key, installed by a script next to uv, which is fine; the weights still have to live somewhere other than my machine. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
