OpenHands

OpenHands is an open-source platform designed for AI software development agents that interact with codebases by writing code, executing command lines, and browsing the web within sandboxed environments. It supports tasks such as bug fixes, feature implementations, test fixes, merge conflict resolution, and pull request comments. The platform demonstrates the ability to resolve over 50% of real GitHub issues on the SWE-Bench Verified benchmark. OpenHands offers flexible deployment options including local runs, cloud-hosted versions, and scalable integrations for managing thousands of parallel agents. Its architecture supports any large language model provider with fine-grained configurability and secure sandboxed runtimes using Docker or Kubernetes.
