OpenHands, the open-source software-engineering agent, has crossed 70K+ GitHub stars and raised an $18.8M Series A, with contributions reported from engineers at AMD, Apple, Google, Amazon, Netflix, and NVIDIA. The cross-company contributor base is unusual for an OSS agent and signals it's becoming shared infrastructure rather than a single-vendor tool. It remains a leading self-hostable alternative to proprietary coding agents.
