Having started OpenDevin (now OpenHands [1]) I can say it's definitely worth renaming. It's very limiting attaching your branding to someone else's [1] https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands

Glad to see everyone centering on using OpenHands [1] as the scaffold! Nothing more frustrating than seeing "private scaffold" on a public benchmark report. [1] https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands

The idea of swarming multiple agents on a task isn't new. And honestly we haven't seen it really work in practice. We've tested multi-agent systems a bunch with OpenHands [1] and have never really seen a bump on benchmark sco

I’m biased [0], but I think we should be scripting around LLM-agnostic open source agents. This technology is changing software development at its foundations—-we need to ensure we continue to control how we work. [0] https://git

When Devin launched ~1 year ago, the first thing I did was google "Is Devin open source?" When I saw it wasn't I immediately started working on OpenHands (fka OpenDevin) At this point, it's very clear our jobs are changi

When we first started OpenHands (fka OpenDevin) [1], AI-generated PRs would get opened with OpenHands as the PR creator/owner. This created two serious problems: * First, the person who triggered the AI could approve and merge the PR.

This is a thoughtful article, but I very much disagree with the author's conclusion. (I'm biased though: I'm a co-creator of OpenHands, fka OpenDevin [1]) To be a bit hyperbolic, this is like saying all SaaS companies are ju

Agreed! The comparison is great for estimating the scope of the tasks they're capable of--they do very well with bite-sized tasks that can be individually verified. But their world knowledge is that of a principal engineer! I think t

The bigger win comes not from saving keystrokes, but from saving you from a context switch. Merge conflicts are probably the biggest one for me. I put up a PR and move onto a new task. Someone approves, but now there are conflicts. I could

I'm one of the creators of OpenHands (fka OpenDevin). I agree with most of what's been said here, wrt to software agents in general. We are not even close to the point where AI can "replace" a software engineer. Their co

This is an interesting take, but I don't think it quite captures the idea of "agents". I prefer to think of agents as _feedback loops_, with an LLM as the engine. An agent takes an action in the world, sees the results, then

Cost is one of our biggest issues right now. There's a lot we can do to mitigate, but we've been focused on getting something that works well before optimizing for efficiency.

This is neat! Which model are you using in the backend? We're working on a similar--but general-purpose--LLM-based software agent[1]. General purpose tasks are very hard, and we too are finding that tackling narrow use cases one at a t
