OpenHands

For coding agents, "skills" are a great way to automate repetitive workflows, but how can we tell if they're working at scale? We did a deep dive on how you can log, monitor, and improve agent skills, with a real example of building a customized PR review skill.

Ever wonder what happens when software teams move from copilots to autonomous agents? Next week in #Boston, we’re teaming up with OpenHands to unpack what this shift actually looks like in practice—from how work gets done across the SDLC to how engineering leaders measure real impact. Join Robert Brennan (CEO, OpenHands) and Nick Arcolano (Head of Research, Jellyfish) for a candid conversation on what’s working, what’s not, and what’s changing fast. 🕠 Tuesday, March 24 @ 5:30 PM ET 📍 Pillar VC, Boston ⚠️ Nearly full, RSVP here: luma.com/ai-meetup-24ma…

Yikes. A lot of “skills” actually make agents worse. We assume adding a skill improves performance. In reality, it often introduces new failure modes, increases confusion, and can lower pass rates on real tasks. The tricky part is that this isn’t always obvious. A skill might work in a demo, feel smarter, and still make the agent less reliable overall. So the real question is: How do you know if a skill is actually helping?

Velocity is dead. If AI can generate a compiler, “write more code faster” isn’t the constraint anymore. Our Chief Architect, Ray Myers, on what matters next: reliability, constraints, and agent systems. openhands.dev/blog/20260219-…

Congrats to the Laminar team on their raise! It has been excellent working with them so far on profiling and improving agent skills. More and more love for the open agent toolstack ❤️

We're excited to be featured in Jensen's keynote at @nvidia GTC as one of the AI Native leaders in AI for Software Development! Looking forward to continuing to build a strong, robust ecosystem for open-source AI!

This Saturday, March 14, AI builders will gather in San Francisco for the Arena. During the Opening Day, we’ll be joined by speakers from OpenHands (@openhandsdev), alphaXiv (@askalphaxiv), Dedalus (@dedaluslabs), Daytona (@daytonaio), and Sentient to dig into grounded reasoning and what it takes to make agents reliable in real-world scenarios. We’ll close with time to meet Cohort 0 and get early ideas on the table before the sprint begins.

#AI coding tools are everywhere — but which #LLM actually fits YOUR workflow? 🤔 @VMblog sat down with Graham Neubig of @OpenHandsDev, to talk benchmarking, open source vs. closed models, and how to pick the right AI for your dev team. vmblog.com/qa/benchmarkin… #SoftwareEngineering

Want to see where OpenHands is headed next? 👀 Join our call TODAY. We will be presenting our roadmap and want feedback from YOU. RSVP below 👇️

New model release by @nvidia - Nemotron 3 Super! x.com/ctnzr/status/2… We got early access to test it in OpenHands and it works well, excited to have a great new locally deployable LLM.

Are you located in #Boston? Interesting in learning more about #AIAgents? Join our event at @pillar_vc with @_jellyfish_co

🚀 Big things ahead at OpenHands. Join our next Community Call where we’ll share what’s coming on the roadmap — new features, open source updates, and a peek behind the dev curtain. 📅 March 12th at 12pm Eastern 🔗RSVP below 👇️

Part of the reason why we try to support every recent language model in OpenHands is because the best model changes almost weekly! No need to switch agents and disrupt your flow. Check out our LLM support tracker where we document the level of support: …nhands-llm-support-tracker.vercel.app

Coming in at lucky number 7! Thankful to be included @mondaydotcom 2026 10 Best AI Coding Agents

The critic is available now in the @OpenHandsDev SDK and CLI. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2603.03800 Model: huggingface.co/OpenHands/open… Full details: openhands.dev/blog/20260305-…

You can also use the critic to improve overall coding agent reliability. On mixed-outcome SWE-bench instances, critic-guided selection improves accuracy from 57.9% to 73.8%. And with early stopping once you get a good example, you can get this gain in only 1.35 attempts.

LLMs made generating code cheap. The real bottleneck is verification: checking that the change is actually something you can trust and merge. To start with this, we trained a critic model that watches your agent work, and verifies the quality of output in real-time.
