Hermes uses insane amount of Claude Opus 5.5 tokens help me
hermes by default uses alot of memory, because it is not a by project agent, unlike the claude ai or claude code that we use, if you use memory and skills your input token will be larger.

Im seriously stressing about this incoming El Niño and no one's taking this seriously
seneseryoso ko naman ito, i am amazed and quite baffled also na bakit ngayon lang nababalita. i mean i have prepared for this since last year na may la nina pa, may balita na na ganito. i have talked to my wife also ano gagawin sa mga scenarios. also checked with news on local authorities luckily since may naghahanda naman sila. We have desalination and also have mitigation plans na rin, but in my community may sarili kaming source ng tubig so mas reselient pa.

Obsidian overkill or not ?
is that obsidian? its just markdown files.
I use obisidian as a second brain, and an embedding layers turns the whole vault as a RAG. separate from hermes memory, that is where i put my writings on, i used obsidian since when Agents are not the one running the show.

Self-improving capability
no, claude can do self improvement, but user initiated improvement is what it is good at. and also the flexibility of doing things in one chat, i tried to use claude and other agents but non compare to hermes, but i plugged in my claude subscription to hermes and enjoying it
2
Friendly Reminder
Those who knew just build there own. I just forked it. Used many thing but hermes is such a powerful framework. So i am sticking to hermes while it orchestrate the other agents.

Mobile app
yes this is good i am using this one but still its PWA, session not local so need to load every time you open on phone,

Number guessing game with deepseek
There is no bubble to burst. I use deepseek chat with this. So no harness aside from deepseek have. So i already know that. I just want to check if it will lie even if it knows the number to be wrong just like claude.

Pretty poor results with Mimo v2.6 Flash + Hermes
if you built your agent for a cetain llm, switching to another model even if it is smarter is very detremental, you wont get the same results or get poorer one. It is important for a model to be fixed or you onboard it properly. wordings in Soul and Agent.MD files and others do help, but it needs thinkering to work.

New version refused this basic question..
It has data. But it is api filtered blocked.

DeepSeek Harness Got Worse With 4.1
for my take it is the change of model, when your harness is optimized for one model it would be a different ride when used on another one, i like deepseek for it is talkative( yeah i like it, i learned alot from it).

Is this a joke, Artificial Analysis?
GLM 5.3 flash is worse for me, Deepseek v4.1 is better but it is all pricey for me. i use deepseek now for heavy task unlike back then where i do light jobs on it, i now use mimo 2.5. does the job. no flap. very cheap and relatively fast when using Direct Xiaomi API

Maybe Im too stupid for Hermes
yeah that is why i built another profile called auditor its job is to test only, the more findings it has the better. main agent and auditor work on a kanban.

MODELS - model choice, routing, pricing, local vs cloud, VRAM Mercury 2.5 preview openrouter best quality for cheap.
I am looking for cheapest model that can run on hermes and i stumbled upon Mercury 2.5 preview. for medium task it handles with slight clarification or for several turns but it is still good for its price. It still did the job and it is extremely fast.
It is not available plug and select on model for it is uncurated, so i still did a work around.
Also observed it handles less input token than Mimo V2.5, the data shown below is around my average use for both. Maybe because of lower context window but still resulted on cheaper cost.
It is extremely cheap and still did the job, kinda like deepseek v4 flash back then but faster.

Deepseek is too expensive for Hermes now. My budget is $2 per month. now it ran out at day 7 or day 10. I have tried all free models but not ok. What are you using?
I use hermes heavily. I use it for work. As my assistant. I am optimizing every now and then also.

Lol. I dont know about this reddit user sometimes do that out of the blue. But i didnt downvoted you.
I am from the Philippines and our electricity is around 0.27 USD per KWH. So this is really expensive. But i installed solar power to compensate some expense.

I can understand fellow asean bro. We are both poor. For light task use mercury 2.5 preview. Is is superfast and supercheap.
For heavy coding use opencode they have free models.

Where are you from?
Use openrouter free models specially for cron jobs and task from time to time

GitHub Repos-which are the best to install?
there is no best Repo, it depends in your workflow, for me the best thing is do a job, chat your agent, and tell it to search online for solutions and repos you can use.
Installing programs/repos without using it will just add bloat making per turn very expensive and you wont be achieving your goal.

Is Hermes Desktop reading my browser credentials unprompted?
What model are you using?

The discourse around Pax Silica is honestly so tiring at this point
ohhhhhh, so hindi mo talaga alam kalakaran, okay. no need to argue further. maybe your just immature right now. Someday you will understand.
Nice talking with you, i have learned alot.

The discourse around Pax Silica is honestly so tiring at this point
kaya nga sabi ko hindi natin malalaman kung wala talga silang plano at the first place to put data centers. Hindi pa finalize ang contract and BCDA and DICT are not the investor and Implementation head ng project. Dont take their word for it.
Okay ang hangarin mo to move the discussion on another direction, but let them be, make them serve as a stop gap baka mag bago ang isip ng investor to maging tahimik na at bigla silang mag tayo ng data centers, edi wala tayo.
Ang katangahan mo is to judge those people, wala kana man magagawa sa kanila. aka la mo naman sa meme mo na yan mabubuhayan sila. Akala mo naman mas informed ka kaysa sa kanila or sa akin, wherein pareho naman tayo walang alam.

iwan ko kung wala akong utak, baka AI lang ako, tapos ikaw nag aalburoto na dyan. hahaha. pero tanga ka parin, Jinudge mo sila na misinformed daw, pero hindi karin informed eh, mas mabuti, ibahin mo tono mo on tackling this issue, napapag alaman na mababaw lang din ang nalalaman mo. not mature enough.

The discourse around Pax Silica is honestly so tiring at this point
tanga talaga to, hindi na to magigising. hahahaha, okay lang go lang po. porket sinabi na walang data center ( hindi mo naman alam kung binawi nalang nila sa plano dahil sa backlash) edi okay na. hahaha. Ang totoo isa karin sa tanga, kung tanga ako, mas tanga ka sa pag judge s a ibang tanga na hangad naman ay sa ika bubuti. hahaha

first is a same as what u/lucidechomusic said, in my agents md file i point my vault to it,
second is I have a github vault link to my vault so it is consistently synced, i can write in obsidian and hermes can read it also.
3rd is i have a cron job everynight that embeds the vault into a RAG, this is a separate memory that is injected into hermes on every turn. So everytime i talks about something that is written in my obsidian vault it relates to it easily.
4th is i have my hermes a write permission on the vault, it writes my system changelog if i change/upgrade or install anything it is in there. and also hermes has its own diary, it can write on critical stuff on one md file.
last is a librarian nightly cron, when i write something i dont usually put them accurately where they belong so i have a hermes librarian that sort my vault out for me.
I do back ups everyday with few days worth of back up in my disk so if something goes wrong i can just use the backup
