“It ships as a Rust crate and as a pip package, so two ecosystems can now argue about the same agent.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | MoFA | PageAgent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 6.5 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.8 | MoFA — The microkernel handles lifecycle, metadata and scheduling, and everything else is a plugin, which means a useful agent is mostly code you have not written yet. |
| El Profesor | 7.3 | 6.8 | MoFA — Concurrency rests on an actor library and distribution on a dataflow runtime, so neither the scheduling nor the message semantics were invented here. |
| La Inversora | 5.5 | 6.0 | PageAgent — A platform company publishes this free with a demo endpoint marked evaluation only, so there is no upsell attached and nothing to buy at any stage. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 6.0 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 8.0 | PageAgent — MIT, npm install page-agent, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including a locally deployed model, and it runs an MCP server so my own clients can drive the page. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
