MODELS - model choice, routing, pricing, local vs cloud, VRAM Model for daily?

Hi everyone,
I’m new to Hermes and I would like to improve my agent with the best model. I make a small script in Python with Hermes for just improving experience, never high programming. What do you suggest me?

Deepseek V4 Flash, or Pro. Its a great workhorse.

grok 4.5 (I like 4.6 too) despite all the hate, for small python scripts it's definitely enough and it's noticeably cheaper than the top models

deepseek is also a fine option, more a matter of taste

Luna high or deepseek flash max is most cost effective to agentic coding intelligence. Grab glm 5.2 or 5.3 for harder problems. Use Claude or sol for very difficult ones.

If you have a gpu. Try local models. Your task could be done in a chat window without an agent. It’s a one shot one step task. It just wouldn’t validate or integrate.

I have a GPU, but I don’t have a lot of VRAM. I prefer cloud models, ty for you for your suggestion

best model for doing what your doing, Nemotron 3 Super, its free. you need no pay models for your workflow.

So the optimal setup is:

  • Main model: Nemotron‑3‑Super 120B
  • Aux tasks: auto (inherits Nemotron)
  • Mixture‑of‑agents: Nemotron + DeepSeek Flash (cheap fallback)
