| description.long | OpenHands is an open-source platform for deploying AI-powered coding agents that automate development tasks. It runs locally, in the cloud, or self-hosted, integrates with developer tools like GitHub, Slack, and Linear, and supports individual developers through enterprise organizations. | An orchestration system that assigns different frontier models to different development stages—planning with Claude Opus, building with Google Gemini, reviewing with OpenAI Codex—within a single subscription. Reduces costs and avoids vendor lock-in. |
