Assistants like Github Co-Pilot and Cursor are driving massive productivity gains but the evolution of software development will not end here.<br><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; color: var( --e-global-color-primary );\"><br>The next frontier is systems that entirely automate the job of architecting, writing, documenting, testing, and deploying code. The largest group of builders on this topic have come together around an open-source project called <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/All-Hands-AI\">OpenHands<\/a> (FKA OpenDevin). 150+ contributors strong, the OpenHands community has built a top-performing coding agent(per OSS SWE-bench lite, scoring: 26%). Their goal; automate as much of the software engineering job as possible. Today the community is focused on the automation of \u201ctoil-oriented tasks\u201d like unit tests and dependency management but will continue to push the road map alongside the frontiers of research.<br><\/span><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary );\"><br>All Hands AI, a new company founded by the three maintainers of the OpenHands project, is focused on continuing the project&#8217;s development. Alongside open source contribution, the company will also bring to market an enterprise version. <br><br>One of All Hands\u2019 key differentiators is that they are not building a foundation model. Instead, they\u2019re creating a framework that empowers independent contributors to create smaller application-specific agents. The OpenHands system then has the ability to delegate tasks or ask for help from a wide breadth of agents within the agent library. We believe an open-source approach is the only way to achieve total task and integration coverage in a space as vast as software engineering.<br><\/span><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary ); color: var( --e-global-color-primary ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\"><br>All Hands wants to foster a new era of software development and change the way that engineers build. If you\u2019re interested in joining this movement, you can get involved <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/All-Hands-AI\">here<\/a>.<br><\/span><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary ); color: var( --e-global-color-primary ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\"><br>Given that software is a cornerstone of society and $1 trillion+ is spent each year on SW R&amp;D, we found this mission worth supporting. We are excited to work with All Hands\u2019 founders Robert, Xingyao, and Graham and to partner with Menlo Ventures on their $5M seed round.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29d1b25 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"29d1b25\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are witnessing the second major shift in the world of software.
