OpenHands

OpenHands is the world’s most explosive open source AI software engineer in 2024, formerly known as OpenDevin, iterated to v0.44+ in 2025, and #1 in the world in SWE-Bench 53% resolution rate! Driven by the All Hands AI community, 188+ contributors, 2100+ PRs, MIT license, and completely open source. Developers affectionately call it “Free Devin + Cursor + Local Privacy Pod” – one sentence of Chinese demand, you can let the AI independently change code, run tests, fix bugs, search StackOverflow, and even directly push the GitHub.
