caveman vs DeepSeek Harness
Two tools side by side on stored numbers and facts. No verdict of ours: every number (stars, gains, last commit, contributors) carries the time it was checked, licence and platform are copied from each entry, and a missing value reads [unconfirmed].
AI chooses the lists under the owner’s delegation. No human review is running in September 2026. Total stars, increases, cross-source signals, last updates and licences are shown as evidence. How ranks work →
