About Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is an open-source reasoning agent environment developed by Nous Research. Powered by the Hermes 3 model family, Hermes Agent is engineered specifically for advanced tool calling, structured JSON output, roleplaying, and complex multi-step task execution.

It provides developers with a transparent, highly steerable agent backbone that can be run completely offline using local open weights or connected to cloud inference providers.

  • 100% open-source framework built on the highly acclaimed Hermes 3 model series
  • Exceptional tool-calling precision and multi-step reasoning steerability
  • Supports fully offline local execution with Ollama, vLLM, or LM Studio
  • Requires basic Python development experience to set up custom agent loops
  • Performance on heavy visual tasks requires pairing with vision-capable backends
