Which GPU for OpenHands? Model and VRAM Guide

Translate model weights, quantization, context, KV cache and concurrent coding tasks into a GPU/VRAM plan for local OpenHands inference.

Important production note

Before running commands in production, validate versions, backups, firewall rules and the rollback plan on your own infrastructure.

What this guide covers

OpenHands itself does not inherently require a GPU; GPU demand comes from the local inference model connected to the agent. Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom.

Architecture and data flow

OpenHands itself does not inherently require a GPU; GPU demand comes from the local inference model connected to the agent.

Do not approve the Which GPU for OpenHands? Model and VRAM Guide design merely because every service starts. Keep the GPU inference API behind a private subnet or authenticated gateway to reduce attack surface. Validate the real network and data path against OpenHands Docker Sandbox documentation before production.

03

How to size the server

Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom.

Parameter count alone is misleading; quantization and context can make the same model consume very different VRAM. Capacity testing should therefore use representative data and concurrent work on Which GPU for OpenHands? Model and VRAM Guide; idle RAM alone is not a sizing decision.

04

How to measure performance

Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom. For GPU-accelerated workloads, benchmarks are not comparable unless model/data, concurrency and measurement window remain identical.

Keep the model/data, concurrency and measurement window identical across comparisons. Parameter count alone is misleading; quantization and context can make the same model consume very different VRAM. Record failure rate and peak resource usage next to throughput.

05

Security and access boundaries

Keep the GPU inference API behind a private subnet or authenticated gateway to reduce attack surface.

Access control for Which GPU for OpenHands? Model and VRAM Guide is an architectural input rather than a post-deployment add-on. OpenHands itself does not inherently require a GPU; GPU demand comes from the local inference model connected to the agent. Database, worker, runtime or admin ports that do not need public exposure should remain private.

06

Production readiness and go-live

Before purchasing, measure tokens/s, time-to-first-token and task success rate on the same task set.

Use this operation as one release verification point: nvidia-smi --query-gpu=name,memory.total,memory.used --format=csv. Parameter count alone is misleading; quantization and context can make the same model consume very different VRAM. If it fails, validate the rollback point before proceeding.

07

Troubleshooting: where to start

Parameter count alone is misleading; quantization and context can make the same model consume very different VRAM.

To separate symptoms from root cause in Which GPU for OpenHands? Model and VRAM Guide, record the last change first. Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom. Then correlate service logs, dependency health and network reachability on the same timeline.

08

Backups, upgrades and operations

Before purchasing, measure tokens/s, time-to-first-token and task success rate on the same task set.

Before purchasing, measure tokens/s, time-to-first-token and task success rate on the same task set. Keep configuration, persistent data, secret inventory and restore order as separate runbook items, and review OpenHands Docker Sandbox release guidance before upgrades.

09

When does it make sense?

Translate model weights, quantization, context, KV cache and concurrent coding tasks into a GPU/VRAM plan for local OpenHands inference.

Choose Which GPU for OpenHands? Model and VRAM Guide against the actual objective rather than product popularity: Translate model weights, quantization, context, KV cache and concurrent coding tasks into a GPU/VRAM plan for local OpenHands inference. Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom. If those conditions are not yet known, start with a smaller PoC.

Implementation and validation flow

Beyond install commands, this guide covers architecture, capacity, security, troubleshooting and production operations as one workflow.

1

Define the workspace boundary

Translate model weights, quantization, context, KV cache and concurrent coding tasks into a GPU/VRAM plan for local OpenHands inference.

2

Validate the sandbox provider

OpenHands itself does not inherently require a GPU; GPU demand comes from the local inference model connected to the agent.

3

Test the LLM endpoint independently

Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom.

4

Restrict secrets and network egress

Keep the GPU inference API behind a private subnet or authenticated gateway to reduce attack surface.

5

Benchmark with the same task set

Before purchasing, measure tokens/s, time-to-first-token and task success rate on the same task set.

6

Verify results with logs and artifacts

Parameter count alone is misleading; quantization and context can make the same model consume very different VRAM.

Does OpenHands use the GPU directly?

OpenHands itself does not inherently require a GPU; GPU demand comes from the local inference model connected to the agent.

What is the security boundary between sandbox and host?

Keep the GPU inference API behind a private subnet or authenticated gateway to reduce attack surface.

How can a container reach Ollama/vLLM?

Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom.

Which class of local model should be tested?

Before purchasing, measure tokens/s, time-to-first-token and task success rate on the same task set.

Which directories should not be mounted into the workspace?

Parameter count alone is misleading; quantization and context can make the same model consume very different VRAM.

Does the interactive tool on this page provide a capacity guarantee?

No. It is an initial planning estimate. Leave headroom beyond model weights for KV cache, runtime workspace and framework overhead; context and concurrency reduce available headroom. Validate the final decision against the real workload.
