Open source platform for software engineering agents
Updated
OpenHands is an open source platform for software engineering agents. It offers a GUI for interactive sessions, a CLI for terminal work, an SDK for embedding agents in custom applications and an enterprise deployment with model and data governance.
Developers run OpenHands through the GUI, the CLI or the SDK and point it at a model of their choice. Third-party sources report the agent writes code, runs terminal commands, browses the web and opens pull requests inside a sandboxed Docker environment.
OpenHands is for developers and engineering teams who want an open source coding agent they can self-host or run in a cloud app. Third-party sources report an MIT license and roughly 89.7k GitHub stars.
Third-party sources report the core toolkit is free under the MIT license, with cloud hosting from $20 per month including credits and enterprise by quote. These figures are not confirmed on the vendor page.
Alternatives include Plandex for terminal-based coding, Windsurf for an AI IDE and Amazon Q Developer for AWS-integrated coding.
