Changelog
November 2026
- New feature
OpenHands now works with Snowflake Cortex Training, letting developers post-train open-weight models using their existing agent configurations and tasks.
What this means for you: OpenHands, the open-source AI software engineer, now works with Snowflake Cortex Training. Developers can post-train open-weight models (models whose files are public) using the agent setups and tasks they already have, so the model is shaped to their own workflow.
Why it matters: The post frames it as training a model for your agent harness instead of adapting your harness to the model.
How to use it: The post links to a walkthrough at openhands.dev/blog/post-train-ai-models-openhands-snowflake.

- Availability
OpenHands now integrates with DigitalOcean Managed Agents, so users can run coding agents in isolated cloud environments, pause and resume sessions, and manage them from Agent Canvas.
What this means for you: OpenHands, an open-source AI that writes, runs and fixes code, can now run its coding agents (AI helpers that do tasks on their own) in isolated cloud environments on DigitalOcean. You can pause and resume sessions and manage them all from Agent Canvas. DigitalOcean can be used for running the agents, for the models that power them, or both.
How to use it: Read the integration guide linked in OpenHands' announcement at hubs.la/Q04B3Hbl0 to get started. You use DigitalOcean Managed Agents with OpenHands Agent Canvas.
- New feature
OpenHands shipped eight Agent Canvas releases in September, adding context-carrying automations, Agent Profiles with scoped tools and credentials, isolated Docker runtimes, and easier app building and sharing.
