OpenHands

What problem does it solve?

OpenHands solves the problem of turning vague research or engineering goals into working, runnable code without manual step-by-step implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Autonomous software engineering: Plan tasks, write and refactor code, and manage repositories to complete multi-step deliverables.
• Sandboxed execution: Run experiments safely inside Docker-based sandboxes while interacting with files and the terminal.
• Research automation: Implement algorithms, training loops, and benchmarking workflows end-to-end (including generating outputs like plots and result files).
• GitHub workflows: Create and review PRs and resolve issues to support iterative research development.

Quick Start

Ask OpenHands to implement a GRPO training loop using TRL that loads a base model, defines a format-compliance reward function, runs 100 training steps with metrics logging to W&B, and saves the final checkpoint.
