Changelog
Hermes Agent v0.18.0
The "Judgment" release — the team spent a week and a half closing every P0 and P1 in the repo. Roughly 700 highest-priority items, all of them shut.
Added
- Mixture-of-Agents is now a first-class model you can pick
- See every model's reasoning, then watch the answer stream in
- The agent verifies its own work — "done" means proven, not claimed
- /learn — turn anything into a reusable skill by describing it
- /journey — a playable timeline of everything Hermes has learned about you
- Delegate a pile of work and keep going — background fan-out
- First-class coding Projects in the desktop app
- Run Hermes at scale — scale-to-zero and drain coordination
- Cheaper self-improvement — smarter background review
- Compose your next prompt in your editor — /prompt
- Google Vertex AI — Gemini through your GCP service account, no static key
- Presets as selectable virtual models
- /moa is now one-shot sugar
Fixed
- Security round
Before you upgrade
Snapshot the server first — Hermes ships often and not every release is quiet. Then:
hermes update
Re-run hermes doctor afterwards. If the upgrade leaves you with a
broken install, the fixes section covers the failures
that come up most.
