OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) is an open-source agent platform that can read code, run shell commands, browse the web, and call APIs to complete dev tasks end-to-end. Each session runs inside an isolated Docker runtime, so the agent can freely execute and iterate without touching your host. Bring your own LLM (Claude, GPT, local models via LiteLLM), launch via `docker run` or the cloud version, and hand it a GitHub issue or natural-language brief.
Editor's verdict
Pick OpenHands when you want a self-hostable, model-agnostic coding agent with a real sandbox—closest open alternative to Devin or Claude Code's autonomous mode. The Docker runtime is the killer feature: you can let it loose on a repo without babysitting every command. Trade-offs: heavier setup than a CLI agent, token burn on long tasks, and quality still trails Claude Code / Cursor on tight interactive loops. Don't reach for it if you just want inline IDE completions—use Cursor or Continue instead.
