OpenHands integration

Configure OpenHands to use Modellane in its advanced LLM settings with a custom model name, base URL and API key.

OpenHands accepts any OpenAI-compatible endpoint in its advanced LLM settings. Enter the model with the openai/ prefix, the base URL and your key.

OpenHands is an open-source platform for software development agents. It reaches OpenAI-compatible APIs through LiteLLM and calls the Chat Completions API (POST /v1/chat/completions).

Configure the model#

  1. Open Settings and the LLM tab.
  2. Turn on Advanced options.
  3. Fill in the fields:
ParamValue
Custom Modelopenai/lane-1
Base URLhttps://usemodellane.com/v1
API KeyA key from API keys
  1. Save the settings.

The openai/ prefix tells LiteLLM to use the OpenAI-compatible base URL; the model id that reaches Modellane is the part after it. Use any id from Models & pricing, preferably one that lists Tool calls and a long context, since the agent works through tools.

If you run OpenHands from source in development mode, the same values go in the [llm] section of config.toml:

TOML

[llm]
model = "openai/lane-1"
api_key = "your-api-key"
base_url = "https://usemodellane.com/v1"

Start a conversation and send "Reply with the word ready." A reply means the settings are right. An authentication error points at the key, and model_not_found at the model id.
