OpenHands swaps its default model to MiniMax-M2.7, betting on open weights for the agent loop.

◆Current state
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.
◆Where it's heading
The team is hardening the cloud surface with rapid small releases while making one substantive directional move: which model the agent reaches for by default. Pairing that with KVM sandbox acceleration in the OSS release suggests they want longer, heavier coding runs to be viable on the platform. The cloud and OSS streams are advancing in lockstep but with distinct cadences.
◆Prediction
Expect further default-model tuning as benchmarks settle around MiniMax-M2.7 versus closed-model alternatives, plus continued cleanup of the SaaS routing and onboarding flows. The KVM sandbox path likely gets surfaced as a paid tier or an enterprise self-host option once it stabilizes.

    Cloud 1.33.0 makes MiniMax-M2.7 the default model

    ⚡ SPARK

    OpenHands Cloud 1.33.0 promotes MiniMax-M2.7 to the default model for the agent. Coming after weeks of housekeeping releases, this is the only substantive product decision in the recent stream and the one users will actually feel.

    cloud-1.32.2: chore: change default model to MiniMax-M2.7 (#14508)

    The same MiniMax-M2.7 default-model change lands on the 1.32 backport line about six hours before the 1.33 release. Backporting a default-model swap rather than only shipping it on the head line indicates the team wants every active deployment on the new default at once.

    cloud-1.29.1: Fix so offline token is not deleted. (#14387)

    A small auth fix so the offline token is not deleted under whatever path was previously clobbering it. Tightens session handling on Cloud but is not user-visible beyond fewer surprise re-logins.

    cloud-1.26.0

    Fixes a routing collision where the frontend mount was shadowing SaaS API routes. Part of the broader cleanup the Cloud line has been doing across this stretch of small releases.
