- AI in software engineering has evolved from autocomplete to cloud-based, asynchronous agents.
- Open SWE is the first open-source, async, cloud-hosted coding agent that integrates with GitHub.
- Open SWE operates like an engineer: researches codebases, plans tasks, writes code, runs tests, and opens PRs.
- Features include human-in-the-loop control, deep GitHub integration, isolated sandbox execution, and asynchronous cloud operation.
- Open SWE uses a multi-agent architecture with Manager, Planner, Programmer, and Reviewer components.
- Built on LangGraph and LangGraph Platform for long-running agent support and scalability.
- Refined with LangSmith for context engineering and performance evaluation.
- Open SWE is open-source and extensible, designed for community collaboration and customization.
