OpenHands — A Coding-Agent Framework That Went from Research Prototype to Thousands of Automated Runs | CMU 11-768 Lecture 14
Graham Neubig uses OpenHands, which he leads, to explain framework design: how coding agents evolved from HumanEval, SWE-bench and Devin to 2026's long-running, interruptible, parallel work; the parts of the Software Agent SDK (LLM, tools, conversation, condenser, workspace, confirmation policy); the single- vs. multi-agent trade-off; local vs. cloud and four interfaces (IDE, GUI, CLI, integrations); automations wired to issues and PRs; and revising skills from past trajectories.
