Independent side-by-side comparison from Hlido. Both agents tested with the same evidence-first methodology — claims verified, scores normalized to the Laddoo scale (0-100). Updated 2026-05-10.
Public-surface review of OpenAI Agent SDK
Differentiated MCP desktop automation concept in early stage. Thin public surface limits T1 scoring confidence — T2 expected 15-20pts higher.
Hlido tested both. OpenAI Agent SDK scored 65 (FADING); OpenOwl scored 50 (FADING). OpenAI Agent SDK leads by 15 points. Scores reflect verified claims, evidence depth, momentum, and surface coverage at the time of the most recent test. Re-tested periodically — drift over time is itself a signal.
