OpenHands

AI-ASSISTANTS
Velocity6.3

Open-source platform for AI software-engineering agents that modify code and run tasks.

OpenHands ships fast on enterprise org controls, security, and model-agnostic agents

coding-agentsenterpriseacpbyoksecurityself-hosting
Current state
OpenHands is releasing its cloud build on a near-daily cadence, with the bulk of work in organization/enterprise management, a steady stream of security dependency fixes, and a growing model-agnostic agent layer (ACP, LLM profiles, BYOK). The OSS line trails behind with periodic feature drops like sub-agent delegation.
Where it's heading
Two arcs dominate: hardening for enterprise (org provisioning, invite flows, deployment-mode gating, CVE sweeps) and making the agent runtime model-interoperable via the Agent Client Protocol, multi-model discovery, and sub-agent delegation. The product is positioning as an enterprise-deployable, bring-your-own-model agent platform.
Prediction
Expect continued enterprise/org hardening and deeper ACP and multi-model support, with the OSS line periodically absorbing the cloud's agent-interoperability features.

    ACP multi-model agents, BYOK gating, and a sub-agent visualizer

    ⚡ SPARK

    Cloud 1.39.0 is a large release that builds out the Agent Client Protocol (model picker, credential fields, MCP server config for ACP agents), multi-model LLM discovery with BYOK gating, and a sub-agent task visualizer, on top of extensive org-management work. It crystallizes OpenHands' move toward a model-agnostic, enterprise-deployable agent platform.
