A recent homelab experiment pitted two AI agent frameworks, OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, against each other using the same local model, Hermes-4-14B. Both frameworks initially failed to perform basic tasks, requiring significant debugging. OpenClaw, a model-agnostic framework, ultimately outperformed Hermes Agent, which was developed by the same company that trained the model, highlighting potential issues with vertically integrated AI agent stacks when running locally.
