About OpenHands

OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) is an open-source platform for AI software development agents that can browse the web, write code, run terminal commands, and take actions just like a human developer. Unlike code completion tools, OpenHands operates autonomously — it can clone repos, install dependencies, debug errors, and submit pull requests. With 40,000+ GitHub stars, it's the leading open-source alternative to Devin and represents the state of the art in open-source SWE (software engineering) agents. Benchmarks show it solving over 40% of SWE-bench tasks.
