All content about All Hands
Recent developments in AI tools highlight the distinction between inner-loop and outer-loop agents, which enhance coding efficiency in integrated development environments and automate cloud workflows, respectively. Additionally, OpenHands Cloud has introduced a free Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) tier for developers, allowing them to integrate their own language model API keys for testing, while also offering flexible pay-as-you-go options for those without a key. These advancements reflect a growing emphasis on accessibility and efficiency in AI-driven development environments.
Inner-loop agents accelerate interactive coding in IDEs; outer-loop agents run isolated, scalable cloud workflows to automate repeatable tasks: CVE remediation and error-log fixes. Teams benefit from using both.
OpenHands Cloud adds a free BYOK tier so developers can plug in their own LLM API key for single-user testing with conversation caps. No key? Use OpenHands' zero‑markup pay-as-you-go models like GPT-5.
