🚨 BREAKING: HERMES DESKTOP IS GETTING A HUGE REDESIGN. 🔥 A whole new way to run your agents. Here's what's coming: ▸ All-new navigation: Chats, Agent settings, Capabilities, Library, Routines and Plugins ▸ Your agents grouped by where they run, so every machine gets its own section ▸ Pinned conversations right in the sidebar ▸ A dedicated home for your Bot Chats ▸ A page for every plugin you install ▸ A fresh sidebar, chat header, new-chat screen and message box ▸ Everything carries over: your skins, light or dark mode, profiles, chats and pins ▸ Love the classic look? One setting brings it back Hermes Desktop is about to feel like a whole new app. When it drops, you'll hear it here.

Fable 5.2 is now available in the Claude Platform and Claude Code. It’s up to 30% faster than Fable 5.1, and costs $8/$40 per 1M tokens, down from $10/$50.

Muse Ember, our smallest, most efficient model, is now available in Muse Code and on Meta Model API. Built for agentic execution at scale, Muse Ember excels at coding subtasks, tool calls and document analysis, with support for audio and video inputs alongside text and images for your multimodal workflows. Pair it with Muse Wonder or Muse Spark to combine efficient execution with deeper planning, reasoning and open-ended work. We’re excited to continue building out the Muse series of models to give developers more choice over how they tackle their toughest challenges. s Start building: bit.ly/4z7XqLS

HERMES CAN USE YOUR COMPUTER WHILE YOU KEEP USING IT. Are you letting Hermes handle desktop tasks while you keep working? You keep writing in Word. Hermes works through export settings in another app or prepares a draft in Outlook. Same machine. At the same time. ▸ Your cursor stays where you left it ▸ Your keyboard focus stays with you ▸ Your desktops and Spaces don't switch That's Computer Use, built into Hermes. It drives native apps in the background on macOS, Windows and Linux. And it works with any tool-capable model, including a local one. Use it for native UI tasks without a usable API: desktop menus, settings, dialogs and app controls. Web pages still go through Hermes' browser tool. Files through its file tools. Commands through the terminal. Turn it on in hermes tools → Computer Use. You keep your flow. Hermes gets on with its part.

Introducing Manta, our long-context model. Everything you give it, it keeps. Manta reads a hundred million tokens in one prompt. Early access opens soon: empero.org/manta 🧵

Congratulations to @xdotli and the team at @benchflow_ai on launching FrontierPhysics! Beyond long-horizon agentic tasks in scientific domains, it’s great to see scoring that captures the nuances and judgment physicists care about We're excited to partner with you to host this evaluation on Artificial Analysis soon

Pro tip to avoid more subscriptions. Just sign up for a free Cloudflare account and ask your agent to build a simple talk board written in json/md files.

The Hermes Agent Plugin Hackathon starts now! It runs for 7 days, with $20,000 in cash prizes and more. Plugins are the most powerful way to extend Hermes Agent, and we want this hackathon to show what they can do. A plugin can change anything from the model Hermes runs on, where it stores its memory, where it runs commands, which messaging apps it works in and what Hermes Desktop shows. Plugins in the marketplace already let Hermes do things like control a phone or turn a photo into a printable 3D model. Every kind of plugin is eligible, so build whatever functionality you want Hermes to have. We'll list accepted entries in the new Hermes Marketplace, where every Hermes user can install them. Prizes 1st: $10,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds 2nd: $5,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds 3rd: $2,500 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds 4th: $1,500 + merch + $500 creds 5th: $1,000 + merch + $500 creds Runners up (x5): merch + $250 creds Submissions are due 5PM EST on Nov 11th. To enter: 1. Open a pull request that adds your plugin to the Hermes plugin catalog: hermes-agent.nousresearch.co… 2. Post a demo video on X and tag @NousResearch 3. Submit both links through the form: form.typeform.com/to/FwJLvOl… Your entry is the plugin itself. Judges score it on usefulness, reliability, polish and creativity, and they favor plugins that do more than a prompt or a skill could. Keep the demo under 90 seconds and show the plugin working. The developer guide shows how to build and test a plugin: hermes-agent.nousresearch.co… When submissions close, we'll open a thread for every entry in the Nous Research Discord, so you can browse all the plugins and talk to the people who built them. You can submit the form as soon as your pull request is open. The catalog checks run once a maintainer starts them, and we review entries every few days. If you have any questions stop by the Nous Research Discord: discord.gg/nousresearch GLHF!

Kimi-K3.1-Pro is now open-weights huggingface.co/moonshotai/Ki…

What you design stays yours. Kimi K3.1 Pro is now Private on Venice. Every brief you write and every 3D model it builds is never stored. Available in the app and the API.

HERMES CAN SPLIT ONE BIG JOB ACROSS 10 AGENTS WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. Each subagent starts a fresh conversation, does its piece, and only its final summary comes back to your chat. The messy middle never touches your context. How to use it: 1. Ask Hermes to split the job across subagents, or let it decide. It delegates on its own when a task calls for it, up to 10 at once by default. 2. Brief them fully. Subagents know nothing about your chat, so put the goal, file paths and errors in the request. Your repo's AGENTS.md comes along automatically. 3. Watch them work. Ctrl+T in the CLI or TUI opens a live roster. In Desktop, expand Subagents above the composer. Steer or stop one worker without touching the rest. 4. Make the workers cheaper. Set delegation.model in config.yaml, or Settings → Model → Subagents in Desktop. Your main chat keeps the smart model. 5. Editing code in parallel? Turn on delegation.worktree_isolation so each worker gets its own git worktree. Your main chat stays on the decisions, not every search result.
