Nous Research just opened a waitlist for its new Hermes Mobile app after initial beta spots filled up almost instantly at NousCon 2026. The team says it is actively working to free up more beta slots while polishing the agent app for a wider public rollout.
Nous Research just added a /learn command to Hermes Agent, letting it distill any directory, documentation URL, or recent workflow directly into a reusable skill file. It skips heavy background engines entirely, using the agent's own file and browsing tools so it works seamlessly across local and remote setups.
Nous Research just launched Hermes Desktop in public preview, letting users run its Hermes Agent natively on local machines without relying on the cloud. First demoed during Jensen Huang's GTC keynote, the app brings the complete agent system directly to your own hardware.
xAI just enabled Grok subscribers across all tiers to link their accounts directly into Nous Research’s open-source Hermes Agent. The self-improving agent runs on any computer or VPS, maintains persistent cross-session memory, and integrates with messaging apps like Discord and Telegram. Why it matters: subscribers can now tap Grok's models locally without paying extra API fees.
Nous Research just shipped Andrej Karpathy's LLM-Wiki pattern as a native skill inside Hermes Agent. Your agent can now automatically build persistent Markdown knowledge bases that compile, cross-reference, and lint themselves over time. Running a quick update and typing one command basically turns the agent into a tireless research librarian.
Nous Research just rolled out Hermes Agent v0.7.0, overhauling its memory architecture into an extensible plugin system. It features built-in memory right out of the box, six third-party providers, and the freedom to bring your own backend via hermes memory setup. Giving agents modular, flexible memory just got much simpler.
Nous Research just open-sourced Hermes Agent, an autonomous assistant that runs across Telegram, Discord, and your terminal. It features a built-in learning loop that turns completed tasks into reusable skills and builds a persistent model of you over time. It’s fully MIT-licensed and connects to any LLM provider.
Nous Research just rolled out Hermes 4, a 70B model built on Llama-3.1 alongside a revamped Nous Chat platform. It features hybrid reasoning with explicit thinking tags and 60B tokens of refined post-training data. It also tops their new RefusalBench, minimizing stubborn refusals while staying easily steerable.
Nous Research just launched an inference API, giving developers cloud access to Hermes 3 70B and the DeepHermes-3 reasoning model without hosting weights locally. It matches OpenAI's format for drop-in replacement, offers a $5 starter credit, and is rolling out via a first-come waitlist.
Nous Research just introduced Hermes 3, its latest open model series available in 8B, 70B, and 405B parameter sizes. Trained alongside Lambda, the upgrade targets sharper roleplaying, agentic workflows, reliable function calling, and long-context coherence. It offers developers a powerful, highly steerable generalist model right out of the box.
