Hermes Agent

Nous Research added early computer-use support to Hermes Agent through CUA, enabling background desktop control without taking over keyboard, mouse, or screen input. The feature opens computer use to local or alternative models instead of tying the workflow to frontier-only modes.

Hermes Agent added an official LINE gateway and OpenRouter published Pareto Code setup docs while users shared Discord and mobile SSH/TUI workflows. The change matters because Hermes is moving from ranking chatter into more concrete distribution channels and repeatable operator setups.

Nous said Hermes Agent hit No. 1 among AI apps on OpenRouter after v0.13.0 shipped and added credential pools for rotating provider keys. Independent posts also tracked migrations from OpenClaw and early routing support in the same stack.

Hermes Agent 0.13.0 adds enforced goal completion, Kanban-based multi-agent orchestration, and more extensibility for custom LLM providers and gateway channels. Early user reports also show Hermes browser skills cutting one Hacker News workflow from 102 seconds to 35 and cost from $1.46 to $0.28.

Nous Research added a Kanban workflow where specialized agents claim linked tasks, share files, and persist progress in SQLite-backed workspaces. The update moves Hermes from a single-agent loop to coordinated queues with human comments, heartbeats, and crash recovery.

Nous added a built-in ComfyUI skill to Hermes Agent, letting the agent install, launch, and run Comfy workflows on demand through a `/comfyui` command. The integration turns the wider Comfy ecosystem into a callable agent surface instead of a separate manual pipeline.

OpenClaw 2026.4.26 shipped Google Live Talk, local-model fixes, openclaw migrate imports for Claude and Hermes, and one-command Matrix E2EE. It also hardens plugins, Docker, and transcript compaction for self-hosted agent runs.

Hermes now pulls provider model lists from hosted JSON so new releases appear without client updates. The same update batch also auto-switches to a local browser when an agent needs localhost access.

Anthropic said a third-party harness detection bug pulled `git status` into Claude Code prompts, and it is refunding affected users with extra credits. Watch for hidden client logic that can change spend and behavior in real agent workflows.

A day after Kimi K2.6’s launch, providers and tools opened new access paths including temporary free use in Hermes and Cline plus availability on Replicate, Together, Perplexity, and Tinker. Engineers can test the open model across agent harnesses and hosted runtimes without standing up their own stack first.

Hermes Agent added a native Mac desktop app, new `/xurl` and `/baoyu-infographic` skills, AgentMail onboarding, and a Kimi-backed creative hackathon. The release expands the project into a broader skill and integration platform for agent workflows.

Ollama 0.21 added native Hermes Agent support through the ollama launch hermes command. That makes a self-improving local agent loop available without a hosted inference stack, with memory and skills running on top of Ollama’s model serving.

Hermes Agent added Tool Gateway, bundling 300+ models with web, browser, image, terminal, and TTS tools behind one subscription. Firecrawl, Browser Use, Fal image models, and Gemini Voice shipped at launch.

Nous Research shipped Hermes Agent v0.9.0 with a local web dashboard, new monitoring APIs, and broader platform updates. Teams using multi-agent workflows should test the new controls for profile cloning and long-running dashboard-managed sessions.

Hermes Agent shipped automatic OpenClaw migration, pastebin log sharing, and a reported 20% improvement in loading the right skill. Use the new import path and debug sharing to simplify setup across the official and community add-ons now covering support, web UI, workspace boards, and chat front ends.

Nous said Hermes became the top coding app on OpenRouter while shipping an OpenClaw migration patch, Telegram agent-to-agent messaging, and new memory controls. If you run long-lived agents, watch the migration path and memory settings before moving chats or skills hubs.

Hermes Agent v0.8.0 added remote code-execution backends, Browser Use cloud browsing, prompt caching, shared sessions, and CLI workflow upgrades like `hermes -w`. Try the new browser-backed and parallel execution paths if you need more persistent, multi-provider agent runs.

Nous Research added MiniMax M2.7, Xiaomi’s MiMo V2 Pro, a SuperMemory plugin, and expanded Manim support to Hermes through partner integrations. The additions give users new hosted model options, a shared memory backend, and more complete technical-animation tooling to try in workflows.

Hermes Agent added direct /claude-code orchestration and cron-time script hooks, and the team also shipped Hermes-focused datasets and agent-tuned model variants. The update turns Hermes into a harness that can steer Claude Code and inject recurring context automatically.

Nous released Hermes Agent v0.7.0 with an extensible memory plugin system, rotating credential pools, Camofox browser support, and inline diff previews. The update pushes the framework closer to production use, so teams can test the new failure handling and interface split before adopting it.

Nous Research shipped Hermes Agent v0.6.0 with multi-agent profiles, a published changelog, and new OpenWebUI tool-call streaming support. Upgrade if you use Hermes as a local agent, since the release turns it into a multi-profile workspace with a growing plugin and UI ecosystem.

Hermes Agent v0.5.0 adds 400+ models via Nous Portal, Hugging Face access, Exa support, GPT-5.4 behavior tweaks, and a published changelog. The release broadens provider coverage and hardens the runtime without changing the terminal-first workflow.

Hermes Agent now treats Hugging Face as a first-class inference provider and surfaces 28 curated models in its picker, plus a custom path to the broader catalog. That broadens model choice for a persistent local agent workflow without requiring users to wire a provider manually.

Nous Research said Hermes Agent crossed 10,000 stars, while users reported easy migrations from OpenClaw and stable long-running use. If you test it, focus on persistent memory, MCP browser control, and delegation behavior under real workloads.
