OpenHands

Can AI do Test-Driven Development? Ray Myers of OpenHands sits down with Emily Bache, software developer and founder of the Samman Technical Coaching Society, to discuss how TDD shapes her approach to engineering. Emily also shares insights from over a decade teaching TDD in the field, and explores what it means to bring AI into the process without losing the critical thinking that makes it effective. https://lnkd.in/ggEjTZ35

On December 4, we’re hosting an OpenHands Community Call and you’re invited. We’ll cover: -Recent updates and what’s new in OpenHands - Real-world usage patterns we’re seeing from teams - Roadmap, upcoming features, and how to contribute - Open Q&A with the community

We're excited to collaborate with AMD on running agents on their new AMD Ryzen AI PCs! See our blog below for more details on how to quickly get up and running with local models using the AMD Ryzen and Lemonade Server: https://lnkd.in/gMHuXHXb

On December 4, we’re running a live Code Refactor Webinar focused on how real engineering teams clean up code without slowing delivery. Robert Brennan and Calvin Smith We’ll dig into: - Practical strategies for refactoring large, legacy codebases - How to introduce tests and guardrails as you refactor - Where AI tools actually help (and where they don’t) - Patterns for making refactoring part of your SDLC, not a once-a-year fire drill If you’re dealing with tech debt, fragile legacy code, or you’re trying to bring more structure to AI-assisted refactors, this session is for you.

We're happy to announce day-1 support of Gemini 3 Pro! Just boot up the OpenHands CLI and set gemini-3-pro-preview as the model: https://lnkd.in/gpGjfhTs The model seems really good! With no tuning we got 70.4% on SWE-Bench verified, which means that with a bit of tuning we should be able to get a bit more.

We have some big news to share! OpenHands has raised an $18.8M Series A led by Madrona, with participation from Menlo Ventures, Pillar VC, Obvious Ventures, Fujitsu Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. Our goal is to build the open, secure, model agnostic platform for autonomous software development, so that powerful coding agents remain open and under developer control. With this round we will: • Invest further in the open source project and research • Scale the platform to support thousands of agents running in production environments • Improve tooling, documentation, and support for our growing community OpenHands is already used across thousands of repositories for: • Automated maintenance and security sweeps • Large scale refactors across many repos • Code quality enforcement through automated reviews and tests 🔗 Read the full Series A announcement and try OpenHands for yourself: https://lnkd.in/gUQm8KX9

This is how we use agents to debug errors in our production web service: 1. Get Datadog logs and finding out when the error started 2. Look through the commit history, finding any suspicious code changes 3. If something is found, report back to human engineer w/ a patch Here are more details: - Blog: https://lnkd.in/g8S4iJzq - Full implementation in the OpenHands SDK: https://lnkd.in/gJKbXJU7

DevCon is here! We are almost at registration capacity for our happy hour on Wednesday, November 19th. If you are an NYC engineer or builder working with AI and want to see how leading teams are using agents and SDKs in real workflows, this is your heads up to grab a spot now! Join Robert Brennan Pulumi and Alumni Ventures with OpenHands and a group of founders, investors, and practitioners for: A practical conversation on how AI is changing the way software is designed, tested, and shipped, live demos from multiple AI teams, and networking with peers over food and drinks in NYC! 📍 Alumni Ventures 📅 5:30 PM local time Request to join here:

Excited to share that Ray Myers and Robert Brennan will be speaking at AI Native DevCon NYC Wednesday 🎤 They’ll be diving into how real teams are: Shipping AI features to production Dealing with evals, tooling, and LLM quirks Turning experiments into reliable products If you’re an AI engineer, founder, or builder in NYC, this is a great chance to learn, ask questions, and meet other people actually doing the work. 👉 RSVP here:
