Nous Research updates Hermes Agent with minimal 'Blank Slate' setup mode

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Nous Research has introduced a new 'Blank Slate' setup mode for its open-source Hermes Agent, which allows users to start with a minimal configuration and selectively enable features. This mode contrasts with previous 'Quick Setup' and 'Full Setup' options by disabling most functionalities by default, including web browsing, code execution, and memory. Users can then explicitly opt-in to specific tools, skills, or plugins as needed, enhancing control for security-sensitive or reproducible team environments. AI

IMPACT Enhances user control over agent configurations, potentially improving security and reproducibility for AI deployments.

RANK_REASON This is a feature update to an existing open-source agent, not a new model release or significant industry event.
