Case Study: C3 AI accelerates agentic coding at scale with OpenHands

C3 AI processes 8 billion tokens in 2 weeks with OpenHands

C3 AI, a leading Enterprise AI software provider, sought to move beyond limited developer frameworks to a unified, scalable environment that would allow both technical and domain experts to rapidly build and refine solutions. Their challenge was to empower every team to use autonomous coding agents as easily as they use LLMs, all within secure, enterprise-grade guardrails. They adopted OpenHands Cloud to meet this need.

The solution implemented by OpenHands provided a network-accessible, self-hosted platform that integrated with C3 AI's infrastructure. This allowed users to describe requirements in plain language, and OpenHands would then autonomously plan, write, run, and iterate on code. The results were significant, with one representative workflow dropping from 3,000 lines of code to 254 lines and development time falling from months to hours. The OpenHands platform processed eight billion tokens in its first two weeks, demonstrating massive scale and rapid adoption with minimal user training required.
