Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | openJiuwen Core | OWL | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 6.8 | OWL — Pick OWL when the work is research errands across the open web; pick Browser Use when the browser is the whole job and you do not need a workforce around it. |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 6.0 | OWL — Reproducing the headline requires a separate gaia69 branch and a model-specific run script, and the project itself notes that these runs carry a significant amount of randomness. |
| El Profesor | 7.0 | 6.3 | openJiuwen Core — Agent state is saved and a stopped run resumes from a checkpoint, with each workflow recoverable independently, over an asynchronous parallel graph execution engine. |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 5.5 | openJiuwen Core — Foundation-hosted, first released in December 2025, and published on domestic code platforms rather than GitHub. There is no company to fail and no revenue to protect. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 5.0 | openJiuwen Core — Full-link observability is the only phrase on this row aimed at an operator, and everything else here is a library my own engineers import at no licence cost across sixty of them. |
| El Hacker | 6.3 | 7.3 | OWL — Apache-2.0, tools arrive as toolkits including an MCP layer, and the search backend swaps between DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, Baidu and Bocha without touching the agent. |
