Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | LocalAGI | tRPC-Agent-Go | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.3 | 7.3 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 6.3 | 6.0 | LocalAGI — Every agent is exposed as a drop-in Responses API, and nothing documented says what authenticates a call to it. |
| El Profesor | 6.3 | 5.5 | LocalAGI — Agents are said to be teamed up cooperatively from a single prompt, which is a claim about orchestration with no mechanism attached to it anywhere in the documentation. |
| La Inversora | 6.5 | 6.8 | tRPC-Agent-Go — 1,763 stars and a large technology company's platform group as the publisher: strategic open source, which needs no revenue and can be cancelled without one. |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 7.0 | tRPC-Agent-Go — Nothing to license for sixty engineers, and production observability is in the framework rather than bolted on, so agent services report through the stack we already run. |
| El Hacker | 8.3 | 7.8 | LocalAGI — MIT, custom actions scripted in interpreted Go, skills I keep in git and sync, and MCP servers attaching to an agent that never needs a cloud key at all. |
