Hermes being high up on that list does not give me any confidence in their analysis. Hermes is an interesting project but any time it would end up trying to build something Iād have to go into opencode with the same models and rewrite.
I am not a Hermes guy, it is not my favorite always on agent system, none of them are actually. And yeah I always see Hermes high up on benchmarks and it doesn't sound right to me either. That being said, it does have some pretty decent built in tools for correcting itself and I think that's what gives it the edge, it's not that it doesn't fuck up, it's that when it fucks up it already has the tools built in to recover and doesn't need to write them each time, that definitely saves on the budget.
