With 83,000+ GitHub stars and $18.8M in Series A funding, OpenHands delivers the leading open-source platform for AI coding agents that scored 68.4% on SWE-bench Verified with Claude Opus 4.6, outperforming Devin 2.0's publicly reported 45.8%. The Agent Canvas web UI organizes work into persistent conversations where agents edit files, run shell commands, browse the web, and execute multi-step development tasks inside isolated Docker sandbox containers. The observe-plan-act loop drives agent behavior: the Python controller manages LLM abstraction via LiteLLM routing to 100+ providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama, and local Ollama models. Built-in skills for code review, Docker management, PRD generation, repo-rules enforcement, release notes, and test running attach to conversations automatically via auto-discovery or trigger-based activation. The Automations system schedules recurring agent tasks with configurable templates for CI workflows, dependency updates, and documentation generation. MCP server integration enables agents to access external tools and data sources. The REST API powers an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for connecting agents to chat UIs, IDEs, and voice platforms. GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and Jira integrations enable pull request reviews, issue resolution, and team notifications. The SDK provides Python and REST APIs for embedding agents in custom tools with local or cloud execution, custom agent behaviors, and Kubernetes deployment. On RepoCloud, deploy OpenHands on a dedicated VPS with Docker socket access, persistent project storage, root SSH access, and complete control over your AI development infrastructure, all under the MIT license.

Prompt, run, edit, and deploy full-stack Node.js applications from a browser tab: Bolt.diy is the official open-source version of Bolt.new's AI coding agent. Its foundation is StackBlitz's WebContainer technology - a sandboxed in-browser Node.js environment where the AI controls the whole stack: filesystem, npm, dev servers, terminal, and browser console. That means the agent does not just generate code; it installs dependencies, runs Vite or Next.js, reads errors, and fixes them. The defining difference from Bolt.new is model choice per prompt: 19+ providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Amazon Bedrock, and local models via Ollama or LMStudio, extensible through the Vercel AI SDK. Development ergonomics include live preview, a diff view of AI changes, codebase search, file locking to prevent generation conflicts, 15+ starter templates (React, Vue, Next.js, Astro, Svelte, Expo), and MCP support for external tools. Projects integrate with Git and Supabase, and deploy in one click to Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages.

With 15,500 GitHub stars and over 1,100 forks, Plandex delivers a terminal-based AI coding agent purpose-built for the complex, multi-file tasks that overwhelm single-file AI assistants. The Go-powered server maintains a cumulative diff review sandbox that quarantines all AI-generated changes from your project files until you explicitly approve them — enabling 20-file refactors where you cherry-pick good changes and reject bad ones without touching git. A 2M token effective context window loads only what each step requires, while tree-sitter project maps index repositories exceeding 20M tokens across 30+ programming languages, providing structural awareness of class hierarchies, function signatures, and import graphs without burning tokens on full file content. The configurable model pack system assigns different models to different roles — Claude for planning, GPT for coding, Gemini for summarization — supporting Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, DeepSeek, Perplexity, and Ollama for local models. Full auto mode handles end-to-end autonomous workflows including high-level planning, context loading, implementation, terminal command execution, and automated debugging of both terminal and browser applications. The interactive REPL provides fuzzy auto-complete, version-controlled sandbox branching, rewind to any previous point, and Git integration for commit message generation. The Plandex Server exposes 60+ REST API endpoints for programmatic orchestration across organizations, projects, plans, and branches. Deploy via Docker Compose for self-hosted operation with your own API keys. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
