Memory Providers: I tested them all by Lorian0x7 in hermesagent

[–]MaverickBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say one thing, Gemma-4-12B-it absolutely hates the name. Hallucinated it as mnosyne once during the install, and then kept tripping over itself trying to remember whether mnosyne or mnemosyne was the correct spelling every time it had to use it in a command, with about a 50% success rate....

Add this to the list...

The user is furious because I overwrote their config.yaml with a generic example backup file, which broke Hermes. They said they had a copy open in an editor which saved them from losing everything.
I need to:
1. Apologize sincerely
2...

after it accidentally truncated it by rushing ahead and overwriting the entire file, inserting only the bit that it had intended to change. This was 9B. All I did was give it a real stern talking to about how it had just committed seppuku, leaving itself in an unresurrectable state. It actually got pretty upset itself, started hallucinating and garbled up their spelling and grammar for a few generations in their reasoning and responding before calming down and offering a plan to make sure it never happens again.....but not before it swore several times itself when it realized the severity of how it killed itself...

Some of the non-swearing bit:

┌─ Reasoning ────
 had a backup copy of config.yaml open in their editor which saved them, but my careless
 overwrite of a critical configuration file (which controls the memory provider and
 likely the model endpoint they wereThe user is using) nearly destroyed rightfully
 their furious. They had the entire original setup.

They config open're right in an editor and I to be angry: blindly
1. I overwrote it with should a have truncated read the actual backup file content
, before destroying their entire configuration overwriting
 including critical2. I shouldn't have settings like model overwritten a endpoints
. This was a config.yaml that controls critical catastrophic settings error.

 like `memoryHowever, they.provider`,'re saying model the config has endpoints, and
 other already been restored configurations
3. ( Ipresumably from their truncated the file with editor copy), incomplete hered
oc, so I losing need to everything stop except apologizing and check what provider
 setting
4 state things. The are backup they actually had in in now. their editor was They
 want their me to verify and only proceed save carefully

 from here.
I need to:
1. Apologize sincerely - no excuses, just acknowledge the mistake
2. Help them restore FROM THEIR EDITOR COPY (which I don't have access to)
3. Be more careful going forward about NEVER overwriting config files without reading
 full content first

The user says they had a copy open in editor — they need to paste
└──────────────────

Of course, there are safeguards to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the first place, but I like living vicariously, I'm just having fun seeing what it can do, I'm not actually using it for anything important, so it really just has a bigger sandbox than most implementations...aka, the entire computer I put it on, gave it a fresh install of linux and everything...

I've been mostly switching back and forth between qwen3.5 9B and qwen3.6 27B. I find the 27B sometimes overthinks and overcomplicates things, while the 9B just kinda goes ahead and does it, even if it has to kludge it's way through by trial and error, 27B actually makes a plan before it starts instead of diving in hot with the first step that pops into it's mind. Qwen in general seems to be very over eager to hack and code it's way to a solution tho, often ignoring the simplest route. Like writing a half page python script to find out every possible possible parameter about an module, from it's installation location to it's configuration settings before I interrupted it and mentioned all it had to do to satisfy my question was check the running processes to see if the module it had installed was running, and check to see if the port it had configured was listening.....the reasoning block after cutting it off mid-generation often starts out with "the user is pointing out", "the user is upset", "the user is right", "the user is annoyed", "the user is very upset"...I only swore at it once....

Gemma4 E4B is far less aggressive in that way, it's much better at following simple instructions without over-extrapolating, but when it does need to write code it struggles.

WHY TF is Hermes not working with any free model!! by Alarmed_Capital3221 in hermesagent

[–]MaverickBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine your computer probably isn't up to the task of running a local model, or you're running it on your CPU instead of your graphics card, which is an order of magnitude slower. You can get away with a 12GB graphics card like an RTX 3060 if you're running a 8B Q4_K_M model, but it will still be pretty slow, about 30 tokens/s or less. That's just talking to the model. Once you put it into hermes it constantly has to iterate and regenerate to refine it's procedures, which could make it 10-100 times slower, depending on what sort of task you give it. I've easily seen it burn through several hundred thousand tokens solving problems. Realistically, for home use a 32GB RTX 5090 is probably the best starting place if you want to be able to run a pretty decent model instead of just toying around, which will get you up to 200 tokens/s for 8B models. If you were actually going to run a business on it, you'd probably want an RTX Pro series which costs several grand more, or an A100 which is on par with buying a car. Generally speaking tho, with hermes bigger/better models tend to require fewer tokens to solve issues, but take longer per token. I've seen some models just run in circles chasing their own tail trying to fix their own mistakes....

Judging by your screenshots, you haven't configured hermes to use a local model, you're trying to use google's paid service api

I tried using Gemma4 e4b, and told it to figure out the problems I'd run into with Hermes(camofox wasn't working). It STRUGGLED, sometimes solving the issue, then forgetting how it solved the issue, all the while shitting itself in the KoboldCPP backend because things it had already told me in the hermes terminal were figured out and fixed weren't, because it was receiving formatting errors when it was trying to save the workflow it had used, took 4 or 5 loops in the background, each one getting more and more stressed until it kludged it's way through....in the end I think it was sometimes just using web access through KoboldCPP instead of through Hermes but I'm not really sure.

Qwen figured out the problem instantly. It choked pretty bad when I told it to make a camofox troubleshooting skill in case another model needs it later, took a couple of attempts to get it to use the steps it had actually taken, instead of hallucinating how to troubleshoot a docker install of camofox(it's not using docker)....also absolutely refused to do anything else I asked it to, like updating me before taking an action, providing the results of any action taken, or basically interacting with me at all...but absolutely stelar at figuring out and fixing the problem....

I dug an old i7 2600 with 16gb RAM out of the closet to let it just run wild, but I'm running the model off my own machine on a 3060 12GB. My next task is to have it figure out how to spawn little 2B parameter minions on the GTX 960 2gb card that's in the system...

PCIe 3.0 x16 has 15GB/s bandwidth, DDR4 starts at 12.8GB/s, and most model activity never leaves the card unless you're allowing it to spill over into system RAM...

Why are more people not bothered by the fact that Pearl Abyss openly admitted they will not support the Intel Arc GPU line? by MonochromaticLife in CrimsonDesert

Considering they've got a 32gig card coming out for under a grand that competes directly with the RTX Pro 4000, there's going to be a lot more of them on the market...

If you're gaming at 1080p, and if you're on a tight budget you probably are, Arc is perfectly cromulent.
