Overview

Open-source AI software-development agent platform (formerly OpenDevin) with a local web GUI, a terminal UI/CLI, a hosted cloud and an SDK. It is model-agnostic and can use the user's own keys.

Status: Renamed from OpenDevin in 2024-08 (per Wikipedia); the GitHub repo has since moved from All-Hands-AI/OpenHands to OpenHands/OpenHands.

OpenHands was downloaded 316K times from PyPI in the week ending Oct 4, 2026. Its download count moved to a different level overnight on Sep 28, 2026. A jump like that comes from automated installs switching on or off or from a change in how the registry counts, so growth rates across that date are not shown. The GitHub repository has 90.1K stars, 4,020 of them added in the last 30 days. The latest stable release is 1.25.0, published Oct 6, 2026; there were 9 stable releases in the past 30 days. On Terminal-Bench 2.0 its best listed result is 51.9% with Claude Opus 4.5, ranking 35 of 43 agents on that board. It was mentioned in 4 Hacker News posts and comments over the last 30 days.
