HERMES AGENT IS NOW IN THE CLOUD. NO VPS. NO TERMINAL. NO SETUP. PICK A MODEL. PICK A SERVER SIZE. AGENT IS LIVE IN 60 SECONDS. Nous Portal just launched hosted Hermes Agent. two clicks. one minute. done. Nous Research WHAT THIS MEANS: before today: install Hermes on a VPS or your laptop. configure providers. set up gateway. manage updates. run hermes setup. edit config.yaml. great for power users. friction for everyone else. now: go to pick a model. pick a server size. your agent is live and reachable in 60 seconds. no terminal. no SSH. no Docker. same Hermes. same features. same tools. someone else handles the infrastructure. FOR TEAMS: this is where it gets interesting. spin up agents for everyone at your org. each team member gets their own Hermes instance. granular access controls per user. unified billing through Nous Portal. your team gets Hermes on day one. no DevOps needed. no VPS per person. one admin dashboard. one bill. WHAT'S INCLUDED: → 300+ models via Nous Portal (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, MiniMax, and more) → Tool Gateway (web search, image generation, TTS, browser automation) → all messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal) → full feature set (profiles, cron, kanban, skills, memory, sub-agents, MoA, /goal, /learn, /journey) → automatic updates ONE PORTAL. FOUR TIERS: Free: $0/month. pay-as-you-go credits from $10. Plus: $20/month. $22 in monthly usage credit. Super: $100/month. $110 in monthly credit. Ultra: $200/month. $220 in monthly credit. highest rate limits. every paid tier includes Tool Gateway. one OAuth. one subscription. no extra API keys. SELF-HOSTED IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE: Hermes is MIT licensed. open source. free forever. you can still run it on your laptop, VPS, or GPU cluster. nothing changes for self-hosted users. the cloud version is for people who want the agent running without managing the machine. pick your path: → self-hosted: full control. you manage everything. → cloud: zero ops. Nous manages infrastructure. → hybrid: self-host your main agent, cloud for team members. HOW TO START: cloud: self-hosted: hermes setup --portal both connect to the same Nous Portal. same models. same tools. same billing. learn how to replace your entire team with 8 hermes agents 👇

HERMES AGENT LEARNS FROM ITS OWN MISTAKES. UPDATES ITS MEMORY. CREATES ITS OWN SKILLS. NO CLOUD. EVERYTHING STORED LOCALLY. THIS IS HOW THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP WORKS. most agents start from zero every session. Hermes carries forward what it learned. THREE MEMORY SYSTEMS: 1. PROCEDURAL MEMORY (how to act) stored in ~/.hermes/skills/ as SKILL.md files. when the agent repeats a complex workflow, it saves the procedure as a reusable skill. next time the same task comes up, it follows the skill instead of figuring it out again. you can also create skills explicitly: "create a skill called video-prep that captures how I format my video scripts. spoken english, define jargon inline, no em-dashes, close with a catchphrase." the agent writes the SKILL.md. available as a slash command from that moment. Hermes ships with 90+ skills. the number grows the longer you use it. 2. SEMANTIC MEMORY (durable facts about you) stored in ~/.hermes/memory/memory.md the agent scans conversations for facts worth remembering. preferences, habits, corrections, project details. real example from the video: agent tried to scrape a YouTube channel. URL was wrong. it failed. it updated memory.md with the correct URL pattern so it never makes the same mistake again. you can also save explicitly: "save to memory that my favorite testing framework is pytest" the agent updates memory.md immediately. this file loads into context on every session. the agent knows you better every week. 3. EPISODIC MEMORY (chat history) stored in ~/.hermes/state.db (local SQLite). every conversation. every tool call. every result. searchable with FTS5 full-text search. "search our past sessions. what was the first thing I ever said to you?" the agent queries state.db and finds it. over time, auxiliary models consolidate episodic memory into semantic memory. distilling recurring patterns into durable facts. THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP: every agent run follows this cycle: → you send a prompt → working memory loads: SOUL.md + memory.md + relevant skills + chat history → agent calls tools (terminal, browser, delegate_task) → agent completes the task, replies to you → AFTER the reply: agent checks "did I learn something worth saving?" → if yes: updates memory.md or creates a new skill → next session starts smarter than the last this happens automatically. you don't ask the agent to learn. it decides what to remember on its own. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM CLAUDE CODE: Claude Code has memory too. but Hermes stores everything locally. no cloud. your data never leaves your machine. Claude Code doesn't auto-create skills from experience. Hermes turns repeated workflows into reusable procedures. Claude Code memory is instruction-based. Hermes memory is conversational and self-updating. over months of usage, Hermes builds a knowledge base of your preferences, your projects, your mistakes, and the procedures that work for your specific workflow. the agent that remembers your birthday also remembers why your last deploy failed. NO EMBEDDINGS. PLAIN TEXT. Hermes does not use embeddings or RAG for memory. skill and memory search runs on plain text keyword matching. simpler. faster. no vector database to maintain. works entirely offline on your local machine. DELEGATE TO CLAUDE CODE: Hermes can spawn a sub-agent that runs Claude Code in headless mode: "spawn a sub-agent using Claude CLI to build a Python script that fetches the top 5 Hacker News stories to markdown." Hermes delegates. Claude Code writes the code. result returns to Hermes. Hermes runs the script and delivers the output. use Hermes for orchestration. use Claude Code for heavy coding. both tools. not competitors. WHAT HERMES DOES NOT HAVE: no built-in eval or LMOps system. no LangSmith, no LangFuse integration out of the box. trajectory export and logs exist but there is no automated quality tracking. if you need eval, build it yourself or connect external tools. the loop is self-improving. measuring how well it improves is on you. comment LOOP and I'll send you the configs that control how fast Hermes learns and what it remembers. memory limits, skill auto-creation triggers, and the auxiliary model that runs the learning. Replace your entire team with 8 hermes agents👇

Anthropic's Claude Ai Agents Team just Educated how to build production AI agents in under 30 mins. For Free. From the engineers who built the stack. CANCEL Your Weekend Plans, and Learn to Build AI Agents Today. Bookmark it. Watch it. Build your first production agent this weekend. $5,000/month. $7,000/month. $12,000/month. People are building agents for clients and charging $$$ as Beginners. You're still stuck in the thinking about AI phase. This video fixes that tonight. Follow Himanshu Kumar for more high-signal content that actually moves your AI engineering career forward. ↓ Ivan Nardini runs Developer Relations for AI at Google Cloud. He just gave away the entire production agent stack in 30 minutes. This is the talk that separates people deploying AI agents that actually scale from people whose agents break the moment they leave localhost. Here's everything inside. I break down a production AI video like this every week. Follow Himanshu Kumar. ↓ The 4-part agent stack that actually scales. Most devs are duct-taping frameworks together and calling it an "AI agent." Ivan lays out the real stack: Agent Development Kit (ADK): open-source, code-first framework for building, evaluating, and deploying agents. Supports Claude models through Vertex AI directly. Model Context Protocol (MCP): lets your agent talk to any tool or data source with one standard. Vertex AI Agent Engine: managed platform for deploying, monitoring, and scaling agents in production. No DevOps headaches. Agent-to-Agent Protocol: open protocol so agents built on different frameworks can actually work together. This is the stack replacing every hacky agent setup in production right now. Full MCP + Claude breakdowns drop weekly on Himanshu Kumar. ↓ Building your first real agent. Ivan builds a birthday planner agent live. LLM Agent class. Name it. Define instructions. Pick the model. He uses Claude 3.7 Sonnet. You could use Opus 4.7 for better reasoning. Full agent built in minutes. Not weeks. Watch the build once and you'll never structure an agent the wrong way again. I post agent architectures people pay $500 courses to learn. Himanshu Kumar. ↓ Multi-agent systems without the chaos. Single agents are easy. Multi-agent systems are where 99% of builders fail. Ivan extends the birthday planner by: Adding a calendar service through MCP tools Creating an orchestrator agent to route requests between agents Handling state and context across agent handoffs This is production multi-agent architecture. Clean. Scalable. Debuggable. Most tutorials hand-wave this part. This one shows you every step. Multi-agent orchestration content drops weekly on Himanshu Kumar. ↓ Deployment without the DevOps nightmare. This is where most AI projects die. You build a cool agent locally. It works. You try to deploy it. Everything breaks. Vertex AI Agent Engine fixes this: Minimal code deployment Automatic monitoring of latency, CPU, and memory Built-in observability and logging No infrastructure setup needed You provide config and requirements. The platform handles the rest. This is how agents actually get to production. Deployment guides for Claude agents post every week. Himanshu Kumar. ↓ Agent-to-Agent Protocol: the future nobody's talking about. Most people don't know this exists yet. The A2A Protocol lets agents built in different frameworks communicate seamlessly. Your Claude agent. My LangChain agent. Someone else's CrewAI agent. All talking to each other. All solving parts of the same problem. All without custom integration code. This is the infrastructure layer of the coming AI economy. Getting in early on A2A Protocol is like getting in early on HTTP in 1995. A2A deep dive coming soon. Himanshu Kumar. ↓ 30 minutes from the team shipping this in production. You'll learn more from this than from 6 months of YouTube tutorials made by people who've never deployed an agent past localhost. People who watch this understand production AI agents at the architect level. People who skip it keep hacking together frameworks that break every time an API updates. Save the video. Watch it tonight. Build a real agent this weekend. Follow Himanshu Kumar for more high-signal content that actually moves your AI engineering career forward.

HERMES AGENT HAS 5 SYSTEMS RUNNING UNDER THE HOOD. UNDERSTAND THEM AND YOU USE THE AGENT 10X BETTER. In this video Alejandro AO 🤗 explained: 1. THE AGENT LOOP every message triggers the same cycle: → you send a message → Hermes builds context (SOUL.md + memory.md + user.md + skills + tools + message history) → sends everything to the LLM → LLM decides: call a tool or respond → if tool call: execute, return result, loop back → if response: deliver to you → after response: memory update (agent checks if anything is worth remembering, writes to memory.md or user.md) this loop is why Hermes gets better over time. the memory update after every response means the agent learns from every conversation. 2. CONTEXT ASSEMBLY what the LLM sees on every turn: → SOUL.md (your agent's personality and rules) → memory.md (facts the agent learned over time) → user.md (facts about you, auto-updated) → AGENTS.md and .hermes.md (project context files) → skill descriptions (loaded on demand) → tool schemas (available actions) → message history (current conversation) if SOUL.md is empty, Hermes falls back to a default system prompt. write your own SOUL.md and the agent becomes yours, not generic. CONTEXT COMPRESSION: conversations hit context limits. Hermes handles this at two checkpoints: preflight: before each turn. if conversation exceeds 50% of context window, compression fires. older messages get summarized. last 20 messages stay intact (protect_last_n). gateway auto-compression: between turns. fires at 85%. more aggressive. prevents API errors before the agent even starts processing your message. after compression, a new session lineage ID is generated. the agent can trace back to the original conversation through SQLite. three things break prompt cache: switching models mid-session, changing memory files, or changing context files. 3. THE GATEWAY the system that keeps Hermes reachable on 27+ messaging platforms. an async loop runs continuously. listens for incoming messages from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, email, SMS, and every other adapter. when a message arrives: → gateway identifies which session it belongs to → queries SQLite for the full message history (session ID = platform prefix + chat ID) → builds the context from scratch → sends everything into the agent loop → delivers the response back to the platform the gateway also runs the session manager. when you send a message while the agent is busy: → default: queued for next turn → /steer: injected without interrupting → /interrupt: stops current work without the gateway, Hermes is a CLI tool. with the gateway, Hermes is an always-on agent you reach from your phone. 4. MEMORY (THREE LAYERS) LAYER 1 — MARKDOWN FILES SOUL.md (identity), memory.md (learned facts), user.md (facts about you). injected into context after the system prompt. updated by the agent after every response. LAYER 2 — SQLITE full transcripts of every session stored locally. FTS5 full-text search across all past conversations. session lineage tracking across compressions. the agent can recall what you discussed weeks ago using /recall or session search. LAYER 3 — EXTERNAL PROVIDERS (optional) 8 supported providers: Mem0, SuperMemory, Honcho, Zep, and more. each works differently (semantic search, LLM extraction, similarity matching). queried after the first message in each session. the agent processes your topic first, then checks external memory for related context from past conversations. not enabled by default. enable for significantly better long-term recall. 5. CRON ENGINE a loop inside the gateway ticks every 60 seconds. each tick checks ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json for scheduled tasks. if a job is due: → fresh session (no chat history, no memory pollution) → execute the prompt with assigned tools → store the run output as markdown in ~/.hermes/cron/output/[job-id]/ → deliver result to your home messaging platform cron does NOT use the send_message tool. delivery happens at the system level, not the agent level. a cron session cannot create more cron jobs. prevents runaway loops. WHY THIS MATTERS: the agent loop teaches it. the context assembly focuses it. the gateway reaches it. the memory remembers it. the cron engine automates it. five systems. one agent. understanding how they connect changes how you configure every level. full 15 levels breakdown in the article 👇
