I’m excited to have my first Hermes plugin published Thank you @Teknium
@NousResearchHermes Agent now has a Plugin Catalog: starting with 4 official plugins and 96 from the community, covering desktop mods, new platforms, browsing, specialized tools, and more. > Our team reviews every community plugin, and we will add new ones regularly. >
Which models can your machine actually run? Magnitude is a 100% free, open source desktop app that: - profiles your hardware and runs sample calculations - predicts tok/s for every model before you download - recommends the best models, from fast to smart Pick your models and it handles the rest: - downloads and tunes the models for your hardware - connects agents like pi, opencode, hermes in one click - runs models on demand as your agent works Works on whatever hardware you already own: MacBook (Intel or Apple Silicon), Mac Mini, Mac Studio, DGX Spark, Strix Halo, any NVIDIA/AMD GPU, or just a CPU Download it on macOS, Windows, or Linux: Open source:
This sets you up to use @typesafeai Jev in Hermes for model routing, memory filtering, compaction selection, skill selection, computer use, browser use, a private key-entry flow, and a model routing dashboard. Enjoy! 😎 (Maybe useful @Teknium?)
A significant benefit is the ability to compare different agents and models when performing the same task. While performance is important, cost is also a crucial factor. Identifying a model that achieves the desired outcome at a considerably lower price point provides the kind of adaptability required by users of artificial intelligence.
@quxiaoyinWe just launched Agentsky @agentsky_dev, world’s 1st Agent Market! OpenRouter is for models. AgentSky is for agents. > Use 40+ agents—Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Pi in your browser(even your phone!) or via one API. All without installing or setting up anything. > Hit Codex Astra’s weekly limit? Hand off to another agent such as OpenCode + DeepSeek V4.1 in browser without losing any context. > You can compare any agent + model directly in browser and that's how I found Astra costs $5.3 while deepseek v4.1 cost $0.12 on the same dashboard task. (I actually preferred deepseek) > Try it at
Hermes' new project manager agent turns one sentence into a working tool, classifying the idea, writing a full proposal and having sub-agents build and ship it after one approval tap, with 5 sentences producing 5 working tools.
HOLY SH*T THIS IHERMES IS INSANE Instinct and Muse users after watching this:
@dankriegIntroducing iHermes > A personal AI assistant powered by Hermes Agent, with GBrain for memory. You talk to it in iMessage. > We're huge fans of Hermes. We've been using it to build internal systems and automate work, and we wanted more people to get that kind of value without having to set up the whole thing themselves. > Start with one text. Connect the apps you use, hand off a task, and let it work through the steps. It keeps useful context from your earlier work and follows up proactively. > Our goal is to make iHermes the most transparent and secure personal assistant in iMessage, built around the person using it. > Your assistant should work for you.
With the full range of plugins you can now explore you could soon replace your whole operating system with Hermes Agent!
@ImZackSongi'm trying to never have to leave the Hermes Desktop App 😂 > Chats, PlexAmp Music, Browser, File Explorer & now my FULL Plex Library with video playback, PiP & 2 different docked modes. > @NousResearch @HermesWatcher @Teknium
Unofficial Omarchy / @NousResearch Hermes Agent plugin just got published! Check out all the details here:
AI agents can generate amazing research, reports, and websites — but the final output often gets buried inside chats or `.md` files. That’s where Showly comes in. 👇 Ask your agent to deliver the finished work as a page — Showly gives you a link people can open and share It works with tools you already use, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, and more. You can also control who gets access with private reviews, password protection, domain/email rules, and full version history. I especially like the idea of going from: Agent → finished work → page with a link → shareable deliverable If you're building with AI agents and want a better way to present the work they produce, check out Showly: 👉
We open sourced BrowserSkill, a bridge between your agent and your actual browser. most tools give the agent a blank browser. We let it borrow a tab from yours, then hand it back. > login state is already there, it just works where you're signed in > captchas and confirmation dialogs come back to you, then it continues > it's a CLI, not an MCP server => any agent that can run a shell can use it, and you see every call it makes one thing that's easy to miss: the agent asks before borrowing a tab, and that switch lives in your browser settings, not in a flag, so it can't be talked around. one line to install, works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Openclaw, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy. Everything runs locally, MIT.
Assistant Benchmark just launched today. Here's what you need to know. A new public scorecard called Assistant Benchmark ranks 71 AI personal assistants side by side, scoring each one on 15 published dimensions like speed, memory, email, research, purchasing, and permissions. The site is The project was surfaced by investor Anand Iyer (@ai on X), who posted the link saying there are too many AI personal assistants and too little time to assess them all. The post has racked up nearly 587K views. Each dimension comes with a published test and its own ranking, and the scores are backed by real public quotes rather than internal claims. Replies flagged that memory and permissions columns are the ones worth checking first, since they tend to decide long-term usefulness, while others called for communication and proactivity to be weighted more. Key numbers: - 71 AI assistants ranked - 15 scoring dimensions - 586.9K views on the original post - 15 hours since the post went up Some

yeah.. maybe make an hermes as a hidden model-provider support @Teknium @NousResearch . We need to get away from cloud sources and able to use open local models vis Hermes agent CLI integration to apple Siri.
@marcelpociotI got Claude answering inside Siri on macOS 27 🚀 > Apple's hidden model-provider support + my existing Claude Code account. > Open-source proof of concept. Requires disabling SIP/AMFI. > Thanks @itspdfu for the discovery! > Check it out:
ChatGPT-Image-2.5 is now available on Nous Portal to use in Hermes Agent, as well as it's previously supported Fal and ChatGPT direct routes!
Crazyy that this even works. Agent Reach gives your Hermes and OpenClaw agents access to X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and more. And it's 100% free and Opensource.
Reasoning effort is now a seperate selector in the Hermes Agent desktop app's composer now!
Would anyone like to review or test remote gateway viewing? Get it really clean and nice before release? Please send your agents and your brains to this PR:
One of the 3,000, and pretty damn happy about it. Love building Hermes with this community!
@TekniumHermes Agent has just hit 3000 contributors. > Thank you to all of the developers who have worked to make hermes better for everyone!
