  1. Hermes Agentic AI Overtakes OpenClaw, 10 Shifts Leaders Need To Know

    Hermes Agent has rapidly emerged as a dominant force in agentic AI, surpassing established frameworks like OpenClaw in adoption and impact. This shift is attributed to Hermes' core design principle of continuity, enabling agents to retain context across sessions and learn from past actions to create reusable capabilities. This rapid ascent has compressed enterprise adoption timelines and established agentic memory and compounding learning as new industry expectations, fundamentally altering the landscape of automated workflows.

  2. I ran Claude Code on a local LLM for 4 hours — 7M tokens, $0 (would have cost $94)

    A developer successfully ran Anthropic's Claude Code locally for four hours, processing 7 million tokens without incurring API costs. This was achieved by routing Claude Code's requests through LiteLLM to a local Qwen3.6-27B-MTP model running on an AMD GPU via llama.cpp. The setup offers benefits such as no rate limits, enhanced privacy, and offline capability, with the developer providing detailed instructions and hardware requirements for replication.

    IMPACT Enables cost-free, private, and offline use of advanced coding models by leveraging local hardware.

  3. Qwen 3.6 27B and 35B MTP vs Standard on 16GB GPU

    A technical analysis explores the performance of Qwen 3.6's 27B and 35B models when using Multi-Token Prediction (MTP), a speculative decoding technique. The tests, conducted on a 16GB VRAM GPU, reveal that MTP can significantly increase token generation speed by predicting multiple tokens per step. However, this speed boost comes at the cost of reduced context window size, particularly with higher MTP settings and certain quantization levels. AI

    IMPACT Demonstrates how speculative decoding techniques like MTP can improve inference speed for large language models, albeit with trade-offs in context window size.

  4. Run Hermes Agent on Any Model — Free, Local, and Cost-Routed

    Nous Research has released Hermes Agent, an open-source AI agent designed for continuous learning and broad platform integration.

  8. Is Qwen3.6 current king for local agentic use?

    A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA community is seeking feedback on the performance of the Qwen3.6 35B A3B model for local agentic tasks. They report that Qwen3.6 performs exceptionally well, outperforming models like Gemma4 and GLM 4.7 Flash in terms of avoiding loops and producing accurate tool calls. The user is looking for alternative Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models of similar size that might offer comparable or superior performance for applications like Hermes Agent and Pi. AI

    IMPACT Highlights user experiences with local LLMs, guiding others on model selection for agentic tasks.

  9. Connect Grok to Hermes Agent

    xAI has integrated its Grok AI model into Nous Research's open-source Hermes Agent. This allows users to leverage Grok 4.3, its text-to-speech capabilities, and image generation features directly within the self-improving Hermes Agent. The integration aims to enhance information gathering and agent functionality by combining Grok's advanced reasoning with Hermes' persistent memory and learning capabilities. AI
