## The Hook

OpenHands is the open-source, self-hostable counterpart to Devin.

## What's Good

Full autonomy like Devin—give it a task, let it plan, code, debug, and deliver—but you own the infrastructure. Self-hosting means no per-task fees and complete control over your code. Active development community. Works with multiple model providers.

## The Catch

Heavier than lighter agents like Goose. Self-hosting autonomous agents requires infrastructure and monitoring. The autonomy that makes it powerful also makes debugging failures harder.

## Verdict

Self-hosted Devin alternative for teams who want control.
