OpenHands

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Once the dishes are done, do future-you a favor: block time on your calendar for Dec 4th. OpenHands is hosting a live session on how to orchestrate a fleet of coding agents so big refactors actually ship: - A repeatable git branching strategy for parallel agents - Task decomposition patterns that keep agents fast & independent - Using fixers & verifiers so changes are measurable + mergeable - Progress tracking across dozens of concurrent tasks - Human-in-the-loop guardrails so you stay in control Speakers: Robert Brennan , Calvin Smith , Ben Solari Grab your spot here:

The webinar is just the starting point. On Dec 4, we’re also hosting our bi-weekly OpenHands Community Call where the builders hang out: - Announce new contributors - Share project updates & roadmap - Demo new features - Talk about where AI is headed next It’s open to everyone—whether you’re already contributing, just lurking, or curious how OpenHands works under the hood. Recording + agenda will be available after the call, so you can catch up even if you can’t make it live. Save your spot:

OH is landing in Paris for GenerationAI and apidays Paris at CNIT Forest La Defense from 9 to 11 December! Come wind down with OpenHands at our evening Happy Hour. We are bringing together builders, API leaders and agent curious teams for relaxed drinks, real product stories and zero slides. If you are exploring agents, automation or AI powered workflows, this is your room. Finalized date and location will be shared soon. Save your spot and come say hello after the sessions. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gQiWE-Tr #GenerationAI #APIDaysParis #OpenHands #AI #Agents #APIs #ParisTech

Can AI do Test-Driven Development? Ray Myers of OpenHands sits down with Emily Bache, software developer and founder of the Samman Technical Coaching Society, to discuss how TDD shapes her approach to engineering. Emily also shares insights from over a decade teaching TDD in the field, and explores what it means to bring AI into the process without losing the critical thinking that makes it effective. https://lnkd.in/ggEjTZ35

On December 4, we’re hosting an OpenHands Community Call and you’re invited. We’ll cover: -Recent updates and what’s new in OpenHands - Real-world usage patterns we’re seeing from teams - Roadmap, upcoming features, and how to contribute - Open Q&A with the community

We're excited to collaborate with AMD on running agents on their new AMD Ryzen AI PCs! See our blog below for more details on how to quickly get up and running with local models using the AMD Ryzen and Lemonade Server: https://lnkd.in/gMHuXHXb

On December 4, we’re running a live Code Refactor Webinar focused on how real engineering teams clean up code without slowing delivery. Robert Brennan and Calvin Smith We’ll dig into: - Practical strategies for refactoring large, legacy codebases - How to introduce tests and guardrails as you refactor - Where AI tools actually help (and where they don’t) - Patterns for making refactoring part of your SDLC, not a once-a-year fire drill If you’re dealing with tech debt, fragile legacy code, or you’re trying to bring more structure to AI-assisted refactors, this session is for you.

We're happy to announce day-1 support of Gemini 3 Pro! Just boot up the OpenHands CLI and set gemini-3-pro-preview as the model: https://lnkd.in/gpGjfhTs The model seems really good! With no tuning we got 70.4% on SWE-Bench verified, which means that with a bit of tuning we should be able to get a bit more.

We have some big news to share! OpenHands has raised an $18.8M Series A led by Madrona, with participation from Menlo Ventures, Pillar VC, Obvious Ventures, Fujitsu Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. Our goal is to build the open, secure, model agnostic platform for autonomous software development, so that powerful coding agents remain open and under developer control. With this round we will: • Invest further in the open source project and research • Scale the platform to support thousands of agents running in production environments • Improve tooling, documentation, and support for our growing community OpenHands is already used across thousands of repositories for: • Automated maintenance and security sweeps • Large scale refactors across many repos • Code quality enforcement through automated reviews and tests 🔗 Read the full Series A announcement and try OpenHands for yourself: https://lnkd.in/gUQm8KX9

This is how we use agents to debug errors in our production web service: 1. Get Datadog logs and finding out when the error started 2. Look through the commit history, finding any suspicious code changes 3. If something is found, report back to human engineer w/ a patch Here are more details: - Blog: https://lnkd.in/g8S4iJzq - Full implementation in the OpenHands SDK: https://lnkd.in/gJKbXJU7
