About OpenHands
OpenHands swaps its default model to MiniMax-M2.7, betting on open weights for the agent loop.
OpenHands Cloud is on a tight release cadence (1.23 through 1.33 in about three weeks) and has just promoted MiniMax-M2.7 to the default model on both the current 1.33 line and the 1.32 backport. Most of the surrounding releases are housekeeping — token-persistence fixes, SDK version bumps, route and onboarding-flag fixes. The open-source side recently shipped 1.7.0 with KVM-accelerated sandbox support and an exposed SDK settings schema.
