OpenHands just announced a collaboration with AMD that lets developers run full coding agents locally on new Ryzen AI hardware — no cloud APIs, no data leaving the machine, and zero per-token cost.

The setup uses AMD’s open-source Lemonade stack + Ryzen AI Max series (CPU + GPU + NPU with 126 TOPS) to run models like Qwen3-Coder-30B directly on-device. You can point OpenHands to a local Lemonade endpoint and get full autonomous agent workflows running offline.

Why it’s interesting:

Local inference for real coding agents (not just autocomplete)

Privacy/compliance: IP never leaves your workstation

Cost: no usage-based billing

Performance: NPU/GPU optimized, low latency

Open source stack end-to-end

Given how fast local LLM tooling is evolving (Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, etc.), this feels like an inflection point: true autonomous dev-agents running locally, not in the cloud.

Curious to hear from others:

Who else is running agentic workloads entirely locally?

Is this the beginning of serious local-first dev tooling?

How big will “offline AI” get as hardware accelerates?

OpenHands raised $18.8M in a Series A led by Madrona to build the open, secure, and model-agnostic platform for cloud coding agents. OpenHands is collaborating with AMD to make local agents even better. OpenHands is delivering powerful coding agents for every developer, for free, forever.

Grafbase just launched Nexus, an open-source AI Router that unifies MCP servers and LLMs through a single endpoint. Designed for enterprise-grade governance, control, and observability, Nexus helps teams manage AI complexity, enforce policies, and monitor performance across their entire stack. Built to work with any MCP server or LLM provider out-of-the-box, Nexus is designed for developers who want to integrate AI with the same rigor as production APIs.

Thanks for pointing out. I will redirect to the whoishiring post.

We will make sure to add you once the beta is available.

Hi! I'm one of the co-founders of DigitalOcean. Our plan is to open the Hatch program up to bootstrapped startups around the world.

We've launched the Hatch program in beta to pilot the program to a small group of startups over the next month. While in beta, we're going to be working to refine the offering and eligibility criteria for bootstrapped startups to apply.

For now, we've included a call to action on the Hatch landing page for those bootstrapped startups who are interested in joining the Hatch program once we open it up to a larger group of startups.

I would love to hear why as well! Our quality and stability have significantly improved over the last year and as a co-founder of DO, I would like to understand what specific issues you faced. Feel free to shoot me an email directly (mitch@digitalocean.com) to take this conversation offline.

We just issued a $10 promo code today on Twitter for anyone that is interested in trying out DigitalOcean. Promo Code: DIVEIN10

Thanks! =]

I would not recommend Piwik over GA. The #1 reason is that Piwik does not track the (not provided) Google keyword searches. Google now provides the (not provided) keywords with the site page attached now. For example: (np - /pricing), so you at least have an understanding of what they searched for. This is a big factor if you're serious about SEO.

We're sorry you feel this way and totally respect your opinion. Any additional feedback on why would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi - It's Mitch from DigitalOcean. We are still ironing out our TOS. Given that we are still a startup we are always constantly looking to improve the language.

We don't consider ourselves too strict. As long as you are not trying to run an attack or spam/flood our network, we are totally cool. :)

They are in North Bergen, NJ at Equinix.
