Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Lagent | yoagent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 6.3 | yoagent — Pick this if you are writing your own agent in Rust; pick a finished terminal agent if you wanted something to use rather than something to build with. |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 5.5 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 6.8 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 5.3 | Lagent — A model laboratory publishing an agent library is buying default placement for its own weights, which funds the work and sets the priorities somewhere else. |
| La Jefa | 5.0 | 4.5 | Lagent — Nothing per seat, nothing to procure, and nothing an operations team can run: this never leaves an engineer's laptop, so it never becomes my problem or my asset. |
| El Hacker | 7.0 | 7.8 | yoagent — MIT, `cargo add yoagent`, and four of the seven backends are local servers, so it starts against Ollama with no key at all and never leaves my hardware. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
