the open-source coding agent just crossed the 68% line. all hands shipped openhands 1.0 on september 8, scoring 68% on swe-bench verified with docker sandboxing and a bring-your-own-model setup.
the gap to the closed agents is now a rounding error.
Context
The OpenHands 1.0.0 release tag on GitHub is dated 16 December 2025 and says it is built on the new software-agent-sdk. The repository README lists a Docker sandbox option and bring your own model with any LLM. An OpenHands blog from April 2025 reports 60.6 percent on SWE-bench Verified with a single rollout and 66.4 percent with five attempts, on a different setup.
Docker sandboxing and bring your own model are supported by the README. Shipped 1.0 on September 8 conflicts with the first-party release tag of 16 December 2025; later 1.x releases exist, which is a different window and not a refutation of anything else. The 68 percent on SWE-bench Verified was not found in any first-party text with a configuration and model, so it is unverified; secondary snippets do not change that. The gap to closed agents is a rounding error is the author's opinion.

the current is now being asked to draw its own map: china’s langya 2.0 predicts six ocean phenomena including internal waves and mesoscale eddies, a deep net called wenhai resolves eddies globally with air sea flux formulas built in, and scripps infers surface currents from the way temperature patterns deform in satellite images. the ocean now files its own circulation report.
