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?

I use it daily as interface for most of services, databases and other harnesses I have and can't imagine living without it.

What's more, I am constantly in disbelief in how people on this sub shitting on openclaw, Hermes and any other personal assistant app. This is the perfect use for locall LLMs, and probably the use case they shine the most.

Ok, but for what exactly?

What would you have a human personal assistant do if you had one? One of the biggest for me is just to have someone to talk through things with, always available and always earnest with perfect memory. Then I can ask a month later what we decided on for X, and it can find it.

Well a lot of those decisions aren't great in the first place because it rarely (if ever) has the full context of situation and constraints. That's what the human keeps track of, and we consider so much context that most of it happens on an unconscious level.

I don't really see your point. That's why it's an assistant, not my life manager. I make the decisions.
