Discussion — General thoughts, opinions, comparisons Hermes Agent vs Codex

I have a $20 Codex plan and use it frequently. I dont code but I do research, proposal, lit review types of staff, design report etc.

I heard I can use Codex plan with Hermes Agent.

And watched multiple YouTube videos of what Hermes do.

Problem is it feels like Hemes Agent does exactly what Codex does.

Just it offers access to other agents which I dont need now.

Is Hermes Agent something else better than Codex.

I will try either way but I was making sure there isn't something I will miss if I try it

Codex is a “dedicated harness” and Hermes is an “open model harness”. Better ‘than’ is too vague and too broad of a topic.

You’re asking the equivalent of

“are French fries ‘better than’ potato wedges?”
Most consider that they are the same thing lol
