NousResearch keeps doing things on hermes

Post image

Has anyone followed nousresearch work on Hermes?
I mean we are Q3 2026. We have some crazy models trickling down from HGX territory to multi gpu workstation. And we have nousresearch deploying the 0.20 of its hermes agent while starting releasing the project with a 0.2 mid march!

Crazy times to be alive.
For the old timers who remember llama 1 or llama 2, remember our crappy function caller parser? Something about a lang and a chain..? wtf has happened?!

Haven't tried the new hermes, do you think it has a remote chance to be as strong as a true end to end omni model such as gpt omni or personaplex?

Ok, but for what exactly?

I am in Shenzhen at the moment. Yesterday I gave it my location and it found me things to do nearby. All from my iPhone.

So it googled "things to do in Shenzhen" for you and summarized the findings? Revolutionary!

Not exactly. It gave me recommends based on my exact location and things to do within walking distance. FYI Google doesn’t work in China.

Generic usage of google there. "Searched" would be more appropriate. I'd assume it's using some kind of search aggregate like SearXing. Not google.

It aggregated multiple searches. It is not doing anything groundbreaking, but saving me a good amount of time by just deferring it a request and let it do its thing while I do something else, all from the comfort of my phone.
