Original Reddit post

I went down a GitHub rabbit hole this week and I think something interesting is happening. Everyone’s focused on Devin, Operator, etc. But I found a few open-source agents that feel… closer than expected. One example: OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) From what I tested, it can:

  • write and edit code
  • run terminal commands
  • debug issues
  • generate working outputs All locally. No cost. Not saying it’s “better” — but it definitely surprised me. What I’m curious about: Has anyone here actually used OpenHands or similar agents in real projects? Do you think open-source agents can realistically catch up to Devin? Or are we underestimating how hard production-level agents actually are? Also found a few others (Aider, n8n, etc.) doing interesting things — can share if people are interested. submitted by /u/Big_Passion_783
