v0.22.5 Oct 23, 2026

v0.22.5

Hermes Agent v0.22.5

Release Date: October 22, 2026

Patch release. This tag rolls up the ~81 PRs merged since v0.22.4 into a stable release for the GitHub release (CLI and installers), the Microsoft Store app, Docker and Hermes Cloud. Full curated notes for this window ship with v0.23.0.

About this release

Measured at commit bf0203a794a, the window since v0.22.4 contains 231 non-merge commits across 804 changed files (+35,212 / −17,885), 81 merged PRs and 30 closed issues.

Also in the window, undocumented here on purpose: Nous sign-in reworked (every sign-in is the plain device login, the free-tier guest hands over to your account, the result shows who signed in, connectors offer sign-in instead of opening a guest), hermes update holding back a stable release it refuses instead of offering it, Windows hermes update no longer stuck on the old launcher after a Python repin, usage-window plan support (plan gauges, limit cards and model-switch recovery for window-based plans), pluggable delegation backends (route subagents by model map or profile, switchable per session), plugin slash commands that can ask you to pick an option, hermes import-agent, OpenClaw migration, hermes mcp serve and the Singularity backend moving out of core into plugins (setup offers the importer when it finds another agent), Desktop drag-to-pin in the sidebar and one-click plugin installs with tier badges, the Electron 44 upgrade, Pillow 13 and a batch of dependency security bumps, a clear message when a chat's working folder is gone, hermes update recovering paused gateways after a damaged .git, long Claude DirectSDK answers no longer cut off by the stall timer, Desktop group chats showing which bot is working again, and the experimental webhook-mode MCP events client.

Full curated release notes for this window ship with v0.23.0, which will document everything from v0.22.0 onward — highlights, feature areas, and complete contributor credits. Nothing in this window is skipped.

Updating

  • Microsoft Store app: updates through the Store.
  • Desktop app installed from the installer (.exe / .dmg): no change in this release; it updates with the next bundled release.
  • CLI: hermes update, or re-run the installer one-liner.
  • CIDocker / Hermes Cloud: nousresearch/hermes-agent:stable (or :latest).

v0.22.4 Oct 21, 2026

v0.22.4

Hermes Agent v0.22.4

Release Date: October 21, 2026

Patch release. Desktop stops showing suggestion pills above the composer, plus small plugin and dashboard fixes, for the CLI and installer, the Microsoft Store app, Docker and Hermes Cloud.

Fixes

  • Desktop no longer shows suggestion pills above the composer. The pills appeared for no clear reason, mostly nudging you to set up MCP servers. They and the helpers that only they used are gone. (#142559)
  • Plugins that install nothing skip the dependency consent step. A plugin that declares no dependencies, or whose pyproject.toml installs nothing, now enables without an empty consent prompt. (#142569)
  • Dashboard: WhatsApp can be safely re-paired after logging out. (#142439)
  • Desktop plugin review: the surface lint no longer flags prototype writes; reviewers check them by hand. (#142586)
  • Desktop: the approval-mode chip follows the active profile's mode. (#142565)
  • Release builds: the desktop bundle's pre-build check gets enough time to verify archived build inputs when storage is slow. (#142623)

Also new in the plugin catalog: bubblewrap (bwrap terminal backend on Linux), Singularity/Apptainer, mcp-serve (Hermes as an MCP server), agent-importers (hermes import-agent, now with Cursor), inbox and workflow-record from Hermes Labs. Telegram Business moves to the Hermes Labs community tier.

About this release

Measured at commit 4d04303818b, the window since v0.22.3 contains 14 non-merge commits across 82 changed files (+1,475 / −3,022) and 13 merged PRs.

v0.22.3 Oct 21, 2026

v0.22.3

Hermes Agent v0.22.3

Release Date: October 21, 2026

Patch release. This tag rolls up the ~620 PRs merged since v0.22.2 into a stable release for the CLI and installer, the Microsoft Store app, Docker and Hermes Cloud. Full curated notes for this window ship with v0.23.0.

About this release

Measured at commit 5b147ab036d, the window since v0.22.2 contains 2,911 non-merge commits across 4,206 changed files (+360,278 / −64,308), about 620 merged PRs and 326 closed issues.

Also in the window, undocumented here on purpose: MCP progress notifications streamed as live tool progress, a refreshed classic CLI layout (glyph transcript, status line under the composer, two-line header), OAuth clients that plugins declare and Hermes signs in and refreshes, hermes plugins update offering every available plugin update plus an Update button for git-installed plugins in Desktop, steering and editing a queued prompt from Desktop, a guided subagent model and provider picker in Desktop, a live /loop countdown row in the CLI and TUI, opt-in Telegram DM topic transfer, a post_compaction plugin hook, a capabilities catalog, the Microsoft Store build going live automatically when a release publishes, session auto-prune back to opt-in with a one-time prompt when disk runs low, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt and one-slot DFlash drafts in the local runtime, and dozens of new plugin catalog entries.

Full curated release notes for this window ship with v0.23.0, which will document everything from v0.22.0 onward — highlights, feature areas, and complete contributor credits. Nothing in this window is skipped.

v0.22.2 Oct 15, 2026

v0.22.2

Hermes Agent v0.22.2

Release Date: October 15, 2026

v0.22.1 was built from the wrong commit. It shipped unreleased gateway work, and the Microsoft Store app could stick on "Connecting." 0.22.2 is the release 0.22.1 was meant to be.

Known issue: Sessions that ran under the 0.22.1 gateway can't be deleted in 0.22.2.

Highlights

  • The gateway starts after a reboot again. After a restart, Linux can hand an early PID to an unrelated process, and the gateway could mistake it for a running gateway, so a supervised gateway (systemd, launchd, Docker) refused to start. Hermes now records the boot it started in, and when it can't tell, it asks the host lock, which only a live gateway holds. (#138594, fixes #133744)
  • Long local-model turns survive on laptops. Local requests always stream with prompt-reading progress (shown in the status line), stall timers skip time the machine was asleep, a recovered local server gets another try instead of a breaker that failed every later message, and compression no longer times out while the server is still reading a long conversation. On Windows unified-memory machines, model launch and the prompt cache are sized to free memory. (#138560)

Below is everything in the 0.22 release line since v0.22.0: the fixes 0.22.1 was meant to ship, plus the two above. Work that is only on main ships with v0.23.0.

<strong>Since v0.21.0:</strong> ~24,200 commits · ~6,080 merged PRs · ~15,600 files changed · ~2,045,000 insertions · ~1,140,000 deletions · <strong>~7,180 issues closed</strong> · ~2,520 contributors</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>The Threshold Release.</strong> Hermes was the god of thresholds: the doorway, the crossing, the boundary stone. v0.21.0 assembled the pantheon; v0.22.0 is about getting through the door. A fresh desktop install now opens on a guided setup chat that runs on a free trial model, so a newcomer is talking to Hermes before they own an API key. Connectors carry the agent across into the apps you already use, with no account needed to start. Local models bring it home to your own hardware with a one-click llama.cpp runtime. And the threshold itself got sturdier: tested SemVer stable releases that installs follow by default, signed desktop packages (including the Microsoft Store), and one package manager underneath everything. Around that spine: a 600-plugin catalog, the Claude 5.5 / GPT-6 model wave, password-manager sign-in for the browser, a bot screen you can take over, one backend and one gateway for every profile, and a codebase a third smaller. This is the largest window Hermes has shipped, about 2.5x the v0.21.0 cycle, and it rolls up and fully documents the v0.21.1–v0.21.7 patch releases.</p> </blockquote> <!-- HERMES_BUILDS_TABLE --> <hr> <h2>✨ Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><p><strong>A first launch that sets itself up</strong> — Open the desktop app on a computer where you have never used Hermes and it starts a short setup chat instead of a settings screen. One card at a time it asks your name, an accent color and a layout, which apps to connect, which plugins to install, then gives a quick tour and offers up to four first tasks picked for you. It runs on a free trial model (<code>nous/welcome</code>, once per OS user), so it needs no key; <strong>Skip setup</strong> ends it and <strong>Settings → Run onboarding again</strong> brings it back. The agent also gained <code>set_theme</code>, so "make it violet, dark mode" works in any desktop chat.

You do not need a Nous account to start; the first time you use an app, Hermes creates a free connectors-only identity. The desktop has a new <strong>Connectors</strong> page that puts hosted apps and your MCP servers in one list (it replaces the MCP tab), the same setup card appears in the TUI and CLI, and you can connect several named accounts of one app (a <code>work</code> and a <code>home</code> account) and manage them with <code>/connectors</code> or <code>hermes connectors</code>.

It installs and maintains llama.cpp with the right engine for your hardware (CPU, CUDA, Metal, Vulkan or ROCm), rates every catalog model against your GPU and RAM, and picks the highest-quality build that fits. Downloads pause and resume, the server starts and stops with Hermes, and engine updates are one click. Start from <strong>Settings → Providers → Local Models</strong> on Windows, macOS and Linux, or <code>hermes model</code> → <strong>Local models</strong> in a terminal. The catalog includes Qwen3.8 27B, Qwen3.8 Flash Next (with its MTP speculative head), Qwen3.6 35B-A3B and DeepSeek V4 Flash, plus any GGUF from Hugging Face.

Every release passes source CI, Docker, Nix, signed desktop builds and install/upgrade runs on every OS before it is published, and source installs now move from release to release by default instead of tracking every commit on <code>main</code>. Prefer the bleeding edge? <code>hermes update --set-channel main</code>, or the new channel switch in Desktop <strong>Settings → About</strong>. Moving to an older release is labelled a rollback and never happens without asking, and installer reruns keep you on the channel you chose.

Windows gets a signed MSIX (x64 and ARM64) through App Installer or the Microsoft Store; macOS gets a signed, notarized build for Apple Silicon. Underneath, a new unified package manager (<code>hermes pm</code>) owns every pinned, hash-checked tool and Python environment: updates build a new environment and switch only once it passes its check, so a failed or killed update can no longer leave you half-applied.

Browse by category and star ranking with a page per plugin and per author; catalog rules keep listed plugins from patching Hermes internals or shipping unscannable binaries. Memory providers now live with their makers (Honcho, Supermemory, Hindsight, Mem0, OpenViking, Holographic), as do Home Assistant, Spotify and Langfuse: existing users are migrated automatically, and the default install got leaner.

Prior reasoning is now replayed by default on every provider that can read it, across resume, branches and compaction, so long multi-step work keeps its train of thought. And when a provider has a bad hour, Hermes waits out transient 503/529/timeouts in visible, bounded cycles instead of ending your turn.

If nothing is saved, you get a masked prompt in the CLI, TUI or Desktop to save it, one-time codes are filled without entering the conversation, and card and address fills at checkout need your confirmation. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/106480" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#106480</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/107585" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#107585</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/137084" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#137084</a>)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Bot Screen: watch your bot work, take over when it needs you</strong> — A bot running on a Linux gateway can have its own desktop that Hermes Desktop streams live. When it hits a login, a 2FA prompt or a CAPTCHA, you take the screen, finish the step yourself, and hand control back while the bot carries on with your session. With a Docker, SSH or Singularity backend, the bot's screen, computer use and the browser run inside the sandbox, never on your host.

Creating a profile makes its bots live without a restart, each profile keeps its own credentials, allowlists, cron jobs and sessions, and <code>hermes update</code> migrates existing per-profile setups automatically. Fewer processes, no token clashes, one thing to start and stop.

Prompts got lighter too: about 19 rarely used tools now load only when the agent searches for them, roughly halving the desktop tool schema sent on every call, and another ~2.1k tokens came off the fixed prompt.

In v0.21.0 the gods assemble. Bot Mode ships built into the desktop app: a society of named agents with their own faces and group chats, where your bots talk to each other — and to you — like a team, not a toolbox. Around that spine: cron jobs gained memory and continuity so scheduled agents actually learn between runs, subagents can be steered live mid-flight, the MCP surface became a real command center, and the agent can now drive the desktop's own browser.

Create Discord-style group chats where multiple bots and you talk in one room, @-mention any bot from the composer, and give rooms names and pictures. Before, "multi-agent" meant plumbing; now it looks like a chat app full of coworkers.

Ask your research bot to hand findings to your coding bot and get the reply back where you can read it. Replies land in each agent's canonical Bot Chat, so conversations between agents are durable and inspectable, not fire-and-forget.

Cron agents now load and update persistent memory like every other agent, <code>continuity=true</code> carries each run's output into the next (so a monitor can dedupe against what it already reported), every job gets a durable notepad scratchpad, monitor-mode jobs skip the LLM entirely when nothing changed, and cron output can land in a bot's canonical Bot Chat — where the bot actually responds.

Around that spine: the desktop app became a platform (artifacts with live preview, a plugin SDK, quick-entry from anywhere, multiple windows), the CLI got a wave of power commands (<code>!</code> shell mode, <code>/init</code>, <code>/diff</code>, <code>/context</code>, <code>/focus</code>), compression got smarter and gentler, and the tools themselves now recover from their own failures instead of making the model guess. This release rolls up everything from the v0.19.1 infrastructure patch tag — that window is fully documented here.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <h2>✨ Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><p><strong>Talk to Hermes — streaming, conversational voice with barge-in</strong> — Voice mode used to mean: speak, wait for the whole reply to generate, then listen to one long audio file. Now Hermes speaks clause-by-clause as the response streams, you can interrupt it mid-sentence by just talking (it stops, listens, and the model is told you cut in), and busy-aware silence detection means it doesn't talk over you. This works in CLI voice mode, on the desktop, and through gateway adapters. Talking to Hermes finally feels like a conversation, not a voicemail exchange.

Multi-profile voice routing means different wake words can reach different profiles, and saying "stop" ends the voice chat on every surface without touching the keyboard.

First-turn time-to-first-token dropped <strong>~80% on every platform</strong>, reasoning streams live by default, the desktop app got a ~20-PR speed overhaul (14× faster streaming markdown, virtualized diffs, snappy session switching), and the TUI renders markdown incrementally. Around that speed spine: you can now <strong>manage your Nous subscription without leaving the terminal</strong>, plug <strong>Bitwarden and 1Password</strong> straight into Hermes, let <strong>smart approvals</strong> judge flagged commands for you by default, <strong>watch your subagents work live</strong>, and trust that a finished response <strong>survives a gateway crash</strong> thanks to a durable delivery ledger. This release also rolls up everything from the v0.18.1 and v0.18.2 infrastructure patch tags — those windows are fully documented here.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <h2>✨ Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><p><strong>Hermes got dramatically faster — first token in a fraction of the time</strong> — Cold-start "Initializing agent..." used to eat ~4.3 seconds before your first turn even reached the model; it's now ~0.9s, an ~80% cut that applies to the CLI, gateway, TUI, desktop, and cron alike. Round 2 attacked what you <em>see</em> while waiting: reasoning models now stream their thinking live by default (no more staring at a spinner for 30 seconds), and the response box paints per token instead of per line. If Hermes ever felt like it took a deep breath before answering, that breath is gone.

Streaming no longer re-renders the sidebar and every tool row per token, profile backends pre-warm on hover intent, and boot-hidden panes mount at idle instead of on the cold-start critical path. The net effect: the desktop app feels like a native app under load, even with huge transcripts and busy agents.

Now <code>/subscription</code> opens a full flow right in the TUI or classic CLI: see your plan and remaining allowance, preview exactly what an upgrade costs ("Pay $46.30 & upgrade now") or when a downgrade takes effect, and apply it — with scheduled-change banners and undo. The desktop app got a matching billing settings tab. Your wallet never has to leave the keyboard.

Combined with the new <strong>user-defined deny rules</strong> (which block commands even under yolo mode) and <code>/deny <reason></code> (which tells the agent <em>why</em> you refused so it course-corrects), day-to-day approval fatigue drops sharply without giving up control.

A new pluggable <code>SecretSource</code> interface lets Hermes fetch secrets from Bitwarden and 1Password (<code>op://</code> references) at load time, with multiple vaults enabled simultaneously, deterministic precedence, conflict warnings, and per-variable provenance. This consolidated eleven competing community PRs into one orchestrated interface — future vault providers drop in as plugins. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/59498" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#59498</a> — @teknium1, 1Password provider salvaged from @hwrdprkns)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Watch your subagents work — live transcripts + durable background delegation</strong> — <code>delegate_task</code> dispatches now return live transcript files you can <code>tail -f</code> the moment the subagents launch: every tool call, result, and streamed reply, one human-readable log per child.

Mixture-of-Agents became a first-class citizen — named ensembles of models you can pick like any other model, with every reference model's reasoning shown to you and the aggregator's answer streamed live. The agent learned to verify its own work against evidence instead of vibes, <code>/goal</code> gained completion contracts, and <code>/learn</code> + <code>/journey</code> turned self-improvement into something you can see and steer.

For a week and a half the team hammered the priority backlog day and night, and every single P0 and P1 across the whole repo is now closed:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Priority</th> <th>Issues closed</th> <th>PRs merged</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody><tr> <td><strong>P0</strong> (critical)</td> <td>3</td> <td>8</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>P1</strong> (high)</td> <td>493</td> <td>188</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Total</strong></td> <td><strong>496</strong></td> <td><strong>196</strong></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p>That's <strong>~692 highest-priority items resolved</strong> in twelve days — and at the moment the sweep completed, the open P0/P1 count hit <strong>0 across the entire repo.</strong> The final cluster to fall was the interrupt-protected-compression sibling-fork bug (issue #56391) and its fix (#56416), closed on an all-nighter right before this release cut.</p> <p>Special shoutout to <strong>@kshitijk4poor</strong>, who burned through the priority backlog day and night alongside the core team — the cron reliability wave, the compression-fork fix, the credential-exfil hardening, and a huge share of the P1 closures are his.</p> <p>We're keeping P0/P1 at <strong>0</strong> from here forward. 🫡</p> <h2>✨ Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><p><strong>Mixture-of-Agents is now a first-class model you can pick</strong> — MoA used to be a mode you toggled; now every named MoA preset shows up as a selectable model under a <code>moa</code> provider, right alongside Claude, GPT, and Grok in every model picker (CLI, TUI, desktop, gateway). Pick "my-council" the same way you'd pick any model, and Hermes routes your prompt through that ensemble automatically. An ensemble of frontier models deliberating on your hardest questions is now one selection away, on every surface.

And that final answer now streams to you live instead of appearing all at once after a long silence. This works in the CLI, the TUI, and the desktop app. You get to watch the committee deliberate, not just read the verdict.

There's a <code>pre_verify</code> hook for wiring in custom checks and a one-time migration that tunes the defaults sensibly. The difference between "I think I fixed it" and "the tests pass, here's proof."

It writes the skill to the standards in your CONTRIBUTING.md automatically. The next time you need that workflow, it's already there. Teaching Hermes a new trick is now a single command, not a manual skill-authoring session.

Pair it with the desktop's new <strong>memory graph</strong> (a top-down, playable radial timeline of memories and skills) and for the first time you can actually <em>see</em> what your agent knows, watch it grow, and prune what's wrong. Your agent's memory stops being a black box.

Kick off "research these five competitors in parallel" or "audit these three modules," then carry on with something else while a small fleet works. When it's all done, you get one clean summary instead of babysitting each one.

Instead of scattered chat sessions, your coding work is organized into projects the agent understands and can act on. It's the desktop turning into an actual coding cockpit.

A hosted or relay-only Hermes can scale to zero when nobody's talking to it and wake back up on demand, and disruptive lifecycle actions coordinate an external drain so nobody gets cut off mid-turn. Running Hermes for a team or as a hosted service just got a lot more production-grade.

You keep the self-improvement, you stop paying full main-model price for it.

Small thing, huge quality-of-life win for anyone who writes Hermes more than a sentence at a time.

The reason a plain custom-provider setup always died mid-session is that Vertex has no static API key — every request needs a short-lived OAuth2 access token (~1h TTL) minted from a service-account JSON or Application Default Credentials. Hermes now mints and auto-refreshes those tokens for you, so if your org runs Gemini through Google Cloud, you point Hermes at your service account and it just works — no token-pasting, no mid-session expiry.

(v2026.6.19)</h1> <p><strong>Release Date:</strong> June 19, 2026 <strong>Since v0.16.0:</strong> ~1,475 commits · ~800 merged PRs · 1,693 files changed · 235,390 insertions · 50,730 deletions · 300+ issues closed · 245 community contributors</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>The Reach Release.</strong> v0.16.0 put Hermes on your desktop. v0.17.0 is about how far that reach extends — across new places to talk to it, deeper into the tools you already use, and out to the people running Hermes for a team. Hermes reached two new channels (iMessage via Photon, and the Raft agent network), the desktop app gained substantial new capability, subagents can now run in the background, image generation learned to edit, and Cursor's Composer model is reachable through an xAI Grok subscription. The dashboard got a full profile builder and secure login, the Skills Hub browser was rehauled, the <code>memory</code> tool got a major upgrade, and the curator stopped spending aux-model budget on every routine run. 300+ issues closed ride along, plus a security round.</p> </blockquote> <h2>✨ Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><p><strong>Hermes reaches iMessage — Photon Spectrum, no Mac relay required</strong> — There's now an iMessage platform plugin built on Photon's managed line pool. Run <code>hermes photon login</code>, authenticate with a device code, and Hermes can send and receive iMessage — no Mac sitting in a closet running a relay, no BlueBubbles bridge to babysit. It's positioned as the successor to BlueBubbles: free to start, nothing to self-host. If your friends and family live in the blue bubbles, Hermes lives there now too. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/32348" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#32348</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/42582" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#42582</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/44713" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#44713</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Raft — Hermes joins the Raft agent network as a gateway channel</strong> — A new bundled Raft platform adapter lets Hermes connect to <a href="https://raft.build">Raft</a> as an external agent through a wake-channel bridge. Set <code>RAFT_PROFILE</code>, run the bridge, and Raft can wake Hermes to handle messages — with a privacy-by-contract design where wake payloads carry only metadata (event IDs, timestamps), never message bodies. Another surface where Hermes can show up and do work. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/48210" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#48210</a> — @xxchan, @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>A substantially more capable desktop app</strong> — v0.16.0 shipped the desktop app; v0.17.0 deepened it across dozens of PRs. Rebindable keyboard shortcuts, native OS notifications with per-type toggles, live subagent <strong>watch-windows</strong> that stream a delegated agent's activity into its own pane, a composer model selector with per-model presets, automatic RTL/bidi text direction, a resizable VS Code-themed terminal pane, per-thread composer drafts, and the ability to install <strong>any VS Code Marketplace theme</strong> directly into the app. The desktop is now a serious daily driver, not a preview.

You and the model keep working while it churns, and the full result re-enters the conversation as a new turn the moment it finishes. Kick off a long research dive or a multi-step build, then carry on with something else instead of sitting blocked waiting on it. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/40946" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#40946</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/46968" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#46968</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Edit images, not just generate them — image-to-image in <code>image_generate</code></strong> — <code>image_generate</code> can now edit and transform a source image, not only create one from scratch. Pass an existing image and a prompt and it routes to the backend's edit endpoint (same tool, same pattern as <code>video_generate</code>), across every supported image provider. "Make this logo blue," "remove the background," "turn this sketch into a render" — all from the tool you already use. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/48705" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#48705</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Automation Blueprints — schedule things without learning cron</strong> — Pick an automation by name and Hermes asks you for what it needs — no cron syntax, no <code>slot=value</code> typing. One blueprint definition renders natively on every surface: a form in the dashboard, a slash command in the CLI/TUI/messenger, a conversation with the agent, an entry in the docs catalog. "Daily news briefing at 8am" becomes a thing you set up by answering questions, not by memorizing <code>0 8 * * *</code>. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/41309" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#41309</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Cursor's Composer model, through your xAI Grok subscription</strong> — <code>grok-composer-2.5-fast</code> is now in the xAI OAuth model picker, with its context window reconciled to the full 200k. Composer is the fast coding model behind Cursor — and if you have an xAI Grok subscription, you can now point Hermes at it directly over OAuth, no separate API key. Your Grok plan, Hermes's agent loop, Composer's coding speed. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/47908" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#47908</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/47371" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#47371</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Full profile builder in the dashboard</strong> — Build a complete Hermes profile from the browser — pick its model, choose its skills, attach its MCP servers — without hand-editing <code>config.yaml</code>. The dashboard also unified multi-profile management into one machine-wide view with a global profile switcher, so you manage every profile from a single place. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/39084" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#39084</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/44007" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#44007</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Skills Hub browser rehaul</strong> — The dashboard's Skills Hub got a ground-up rework: connected hubs, a Featured section, full skill previews before you install, and a security scan on each skill. Browsing and installing skills from the trusted taps (OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, NVIDIA) is now a real browsing experience, not a flat list. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/40384" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#40384</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/43398" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#43398</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>The <code>memory</code> tool got a major upgrade — atomic batch operations</strong> — The <code>memory</code> tool gained an <code>operations</code> array that applies a batch of add/replace/remove edits <strong>atomically against the final character budget</strong>. The model can free up space and add new entries in a single call — even when an add alone would overflow the budget — collapsing what used to be a fragile multi-turn dance into one reliable operation. Memory updates are now faster and far less likely to fail mid-edit. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/48507" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#48507</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Secure dashboard login</strong> — The dashboard's authentication was hardened: every token-required endpoint now correctly returns 401 behind the OAuth gate, websocket auth uses the served dashboard token, and a warning fires when a <code>public_url</code> override is silently rejected. Exposing your dashboard to the network is safer by default. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/42578" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#42578</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/43214" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#43214</a> — @benbarclay, @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Official WhatsApp Business Cloud API adapter</strong> — Alongside the existing Baileys bridge, Hermes now speaks the <strong>official</strong> WhatsApp Business Cloud API — Meta's first-party, hosted, no-bridge-process path. Point it at your Business API credentials and Hermes talks WhatsApp through the supported channel, with no QR-scanning bridge process to keep alive. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/44331" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#44331</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/43921" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#43921</a> — @jquesnelle, @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Rich text for Telegram — Bot API 10.1 rich messages</strong> — Telegram replies now render as proper rich messages via Bot API 10.1: better formatting, cleaner long-message handling, native markup instead of flattened text. It's on by default with an opt-out, so your Telegram conversations look the way they should without any configuration. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/44829" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#44829</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/45584" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#45584</a>, <a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/45953" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#45953</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Curator cost optimization — no aux-model spend on routine runs</strong> — The skill curator now prunes stale skills by default but no longer runs its LLM-powered consolidation pass unless you opt in (<code>curator.consolidate: true</code> or <code>hermes curator run --consolidate</code>). The deterministic inactivity sweep keeps running for free; the opinionated, aux-model-spending "build umbrella skills" fork is now off by default. Routine background curation costs you <strong>zero tokens</strong>.

insertions · 46,217 deletions · 399 issues closed (2 P0, 62 P1, 16 security-tagged) · 170 community contributors (including co-authors)</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>The Surface Release.</strong> Hermes meets you wherever you work. A brand-new native desktop app — built across 100 PRs and 159 commits in a single week — gives you Hermes as a real macOS/Linux/Windows application: one-click install, in-app self-update, drag-and-drop files into chat, an inline model picker in the status bar, concurrent multi-profile sessions, a full Simplified Chinese translation, and the ability to connect to a remote Hermes gateway over OAuth or username/password. Alongside it, the web dashboard grew a full browser-based administration panel (MCP catalog, messaging channels, credentials, webhooks, memory, pluggable OIDC / username-password login), and first-time setup got a "Quick Setup via Nous Portal" path that gets you from install to first message in seconds. The default skill set was trimmed to what you actually need, NVIDIA/skills joined the trusted Skills Hub taps, the model picker is now fuzzy-searchable everywhere (desktop, web, TUI, CLI), and <code>/undo</code> finally lets you take back the last N turns. 2 P0 and 62 P1 closures ride along, plus a security round (CVE-2026-48710 Starlette pin, SSRF off-loop hardening, subprocess credential stripping).</p> </blockquote> <hr> <h2>✨ Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><p><strong>Hermes Desktop — a real native app, not a terminal wrapper</strong> — This is the headline. There's now a <code>apps/desktop/</code> Electron application that installs like any other desktop app on macOS, Linux, and Windows, updates itself in place from inside the app, and gives you a polished GUI for everything Hermes does. You get a proper chat window with streaming, a session list you can archive and search, drag-and-drop files anywhere in the chat area, clipboard image paste, a Cmd+K command palette, and a model picker right in the status bar. If you've been telling friends "it's a CLI agent" and watching their eyes glaze over — now you can just send them an installer. None of this existed a week ago.

Point it at a remote Hermes gateway (your homelab, a hosted box, a teammate's server) and it connects over a secure WebSocket, authenticating with OAuth or a username/password login — no fiddling with <code>--insecure</code> flags or hand-copied session tokens. Each profile can target its own remote host, and you can run concurrent sessions across multiple profiles in one window with cross-profile <code>@session</code> links. The practical version: your laptop runs a thin GUI, the heavy agent runs wherever your API keys and compute live.

There's a Channels page that sets up every gateway messaging platform (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) from the browser, an admin panel for the MCP catalog with enable/disable toggles, credential management, webhook and hook creation, memory configuration, gateway controls, and a System page with check-before-update and one-click Debug Share. You no longer have to SSH in and edit <code>config.yaml</code> to wire up a new messaging channel or MCP server — it's all point-and-click now.

English stays the default; switch language in Appearance settings and the choice persists to your config (<code>display.language</code>). It's built on a proper typed i18n layer, so adding more languages from here is straightforward. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/38241" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#38241</a> — @JimLiu)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Leaner default skill set — Hermes ships only what you actually need</strong> — The bundled skill set got a deliberate trim. Skills that were redundant or dead are gone (<code>spotify</code> — superseded by the native Spotify plugin's 7 tools; <code>linear</code> — superseded by <code>hermes mcp install linear</code>; <code>kanban-codex-lane</code>, <code>debugging-hermes-tui-commands</code>, a stale <code>domain</code> orphan, and several empty category markers). Heavier or niche skills moved from bundled to optional (the Baoyu creative set, <code>dspy</code>, <code>subagent-driven-development</code>, <code>minecraft-modpack-server</code>, <code>pokemon-player</code>, <code>hermes-s6-container-supervision</code>) — still one <code>hermes skills install</code> away, just not loaded by default. And a new <code>environments:</code> relevance gate keeps context-specific skills (kanban, docker/s6) out of the skills index for users who'll never use them, while still loading them on explicit request. The result: a smaller, sharper default skill list, less noise in the picker, and a lighter prompt. The curator can now prune unused <strong>built-in</strong> skills too (not just agent-created ones), with usage tracked for every skill.

NVIDIA's verified skills for CUDA-X, AIQ, cuOpt and the rest of their product stack are one install away, with real category labels from the repo's <code>skills.sh.json</code> sidecar. (<a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/34333" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cl-pr-link">#34333</a> — @teknium1)</p> </li> <li><p><strong>Quick Setup via Nous Portal — from install to first message in seconds</strong> — First-time setup was thinned down to two clear paths: Quick Setup (sign in with Nous Portal, get a model picker, start chatting immediately) or Full Setup (the detailed wizard for power users). <code>hermes portal</code> is now the human-readable alias that runs the full quick-setup Nous flow. The first-run menu explains the difference inline so newcomers aren't guessing. The goal: a brand-new user shouldn't need to read docs to send their first message.

Type "v4fl" and <code>deepseek-v4-flash</code> surfaces; multi-endpoint providers are grouped under one row instead of cluttering the list with duplicates, and each row carries a description so you know what you're picking. The catalog refreshes hourly instead of daily, so new models show up the same day they launch.

Patch Release.</strong> A same-day hotfix for v0.15.0. Headline fix: the dashboard infinite-reload loop that hit anyone running v0.15.0 in loopback mode (Docker, hosted Hermes, fresh installs). A handful of other v0.15.0 follow-ups go along for the ride — kanban worker SIGTERM, <code>/model</code> picker unification, <code>/yolo</code> session bypass, the full 19,932-entry skills.sh catalog, <code>.md</code> media delivery restoration, gateway probe-stepdown safety, web-URL redaction passthrough, kanban worker vision on referenced images, hindsight observation-default. Docker users get an explicit <code>--insecure</code> opt-in env var (no more bind-host inference), MCP server bare-command PATH resolution, and arm64 PR-build cache fixes.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <h2>✨ Highlights</h2> <ul> <li><p><strong>Dashboard 401 reload loop fixed</strong> — In loopback mode the dashboard's identity probe (<code>/api/auth/me</code>) returns 401 by design, but v0.15.0's stale-token reload guard treated every 401 as a rotated session token and full-page-reloaded to pick up a fresh one. Every successful sibling call cleared the one-shot reload guard, so the page reload-looped forever (Firefox: "Navigated to /sessions" storm; Chrome: React re-render storm). Fix adds an <code>allowUnauthorized</code> opt-out to <code>fetchJSON</code> that skips only the loopback stale-token reload — 401 still throws so <code>AuthWidget</code> swallows it, gated-mode <code>login_url</code> redirects are unaffected.

That conflated "I want LAN access" with "I want to disable the same-origin guard." The fix splits them: bind host is bind host, and disabling the dashboard's loopback auth requires an explicit <code>HERMES_DASHBOARD_INSECURE=1</code>. Existing setups that genuinely wanted insecure binding must now set the env var.

Fixed; both surfaces now reflect the live catalog state.
