Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | LangGraph4j | Langroid | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 7.0 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 6.5 | 6.5 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 7.5 | 7.5 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 6.5 | 6.3 | LangGraph4j — 1,973 stars for a port that inherits another project's design decisions: the roadmap lives upstream, and there is no company here to change that or to be acquired. |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 5.5 | LangGraph4j — Nothing to license and nothing to administer: it arrives through the build file my teams already use, on a language baseline of Java 17 we already meet. |
| El Hacker | 7.3 | 8.0 | Langroid — MIT, one pip install, any agent can call MCP servers, and Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint means the weights sit wherever I put them. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
