Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Klaat Code | oli | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 5.3 | Klaat Code — Pick it if watching the meter has changed how you use these tools; pick a bring-your-own-key terminal agent if you would rather own the bill outright. |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 5.0 | 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 | 6.8 | 6.3 | 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 | 5.0 | 4.8 | Klaat Code — Quota is charged per message, and neither a price nor a free allowance is published anywhere, which is a pricing page that has not decided what it wants to be. |
| La Jefa | 5.5 | 4.0 | Klaat Code — Budget controls I did not have to build myself: burn-rate warnings, per-phase token budgets, a hard session cap and a maximum cost flag for unattended runs. |
| El Hacker | 4.0 | 7.0 | oli — Apache-2.0, and local models with function calling are supported for full tool use rather than chat only, with Qwen 2.5 Coder named as one that actually works. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
