36 blind AI judges pick a solo-session agent setup over Superpowers 36-0
Kai_ThoughtArchitect · reddit · 2026-10-27
A developer blind-tested two agent architectures with 36 judges across 8 model families (Haiku 5.5, Qwen 3.8 Max, Gemini 4 Argon, GPT-6.1 Sol, and more), asking which could run 48 hours unattended on real ticket queues. His "Topping Out" setup won 36-0: fresh sessions per job from files, stop rules, and a spend cap, versus Superpowers' single approved plan that its README says runs only "a couple hours." Judges flagged real weaknesses though — instructions-only gates, one stopped job ending the night shift, no proven 48-hour run. Design win, not proof.
