Two steps away from v1 😎

just installed it 40 minutes ago, i gotta update it again woah

That's crazy

every one is better than the last one

Anotha one

when does the hermes agent instrumental EP come out.

Working on it!

@gradyacc i see over 1k PRs how do you even pick the PRs you guys care about ? what’s a good way to get recognized ?

@gradyacc We do our best to prioritize!

Radio Hermes when? 😆

EP first!

I thought you were joking about this! Nice to hear. 😁

@Falconve_ Lfg

This is cool but knowing that the update will be smooth and don’t break anything is even cooler

We're spoiled in Hermes land

I gotta ask, how are you making these videos?

With a lot of help from Hermes Agent!

soo most open source projects ship one major release and disappear for 6 months.. the minimax partnership from yesterday plus this today is nous quietly becoming the default open source agent platform while everyone argues about benchmarks 🫡

Do you guys even sleep?

Not really!

hermes is my buddy now 🤝

So close I can taste it

Why is Hermes better than openclaw?

@ETDataDoc How much time do you have

Haha I’m just trying to understand as a user. I’m using Hermes because my intuition tells me it’s better but why and will it remain better? Why can’t OpenAI and Anthropic just copy what you develop here?

@ETDataDoc It's open source so they can copy away. We will continue to lead, as you can't copy our team (and especially not @Teknium)

@Teknium I believe in you guys. I’m burning through tokens with Hermes though 😂😅 hopefully we can optimize this down the road.

@Scobleizer You guys are cooking hard, need to test it out someday for local LLMs

@aijoey I swear these guys push out new major features every day

Do any skills made from hermes get published to the pool of total skills for the agent? was just curious because I made like 5-6 for the trading category that anyone can use.

No due to security issues etc, but you can open source them and/or PR them!

that makes sense okay!

NEW HERM ON THE BLOCK

oh cool! seems the first version running on my new Macbook Air is 0.8.0 then! congrats on the release!

wow and you guys never stop, amazing!

Damn, I’m loving my experience with hermes. I hope you guys improve ux in ghostty sometimes it gets a bit messy. But hermes has been doing amazing things for me. Thank you for your work

@Swanagan

these release trailers are the best vibes

Spotify when

@drjvjvbon3 We need a few more tracks before the EP is ready!

@Montreal_AI I love the contrast between how chill and lowkey the vibe is of the video, but absolutely batshit insane the speed of development is. Is this the third update in just a week or what?! Finally jumped in with the mimo deal, and it’s insane how smooth everything is. Fantastic work!

who makes those beats 🔥

Hermes v0.8 Bug: Agent Sleeps After Background Tasks Tested 4x w/ qwen3.5:35b (local Ollama): ❌ notify_on_complete=True — no wake up ❌ deliver="origin" — user=None rejected ❌ telegram:422456440 — silent fail ✅ deliver="telegram" — works! Gateway logs: Unauthorized user: None

Lovely work. Can't wait for Hermes to natively support flight search! I used my OpenClaw for this, I hate checking skyscanner, google flights + 8 other websites to get 1 flight. My OpenClaw was doing that instead. Native support in Hermes would be great :D I use this flight search:

its not even v1.0.0 🤯🤯🤯

the update went smoothly. It took almost 1 minute because it was waiting on me to hit enter several times. LOL
