OpenHands has announced support for NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning model, aiming to integrate fast, customizable open-source models into agentic software engineering workflows.
The team emphasizes that the future of software engineering agents will not rely on a single model, but rather on open, composable systems that allow teams to run agents on their own terms. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning reportedly offers 4x higher throughput and 30% faster task completion compared to other leading open models of similar size.
