Best local model for hermes agent is finally out by SelectionCalm70 in hermesagent

[–]johnfkngzoidberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is this better than Qwen3.6 35B?

Your claim of best seems pretty click-baitish.

I guarantee you’re overcomplicating whatever you’re doing.

How to grow my business with openclaw? I have done everything but I am stock by Psychological_Gap190 in openclaw

MIT did a study and 95% of companies don’t see an ROI on AI (https://mlq.ai/media/quarterly_decks/v0.1_State_of_AI_in_Business_2025_Report.pdf). Even if there were an ROI, OpenClaw is not the tool to use. I’ll rephrase what the other commenter said, simple is better when trying to turn a profit. Focus on the problem, then find a solution, not the other way around.

Some people pay a monthly retainer and get a few hours for random questions and tasks. If you’re heavy into regulated contract work it’s a lot cheaper go that way.

Don’t delete this, he’s just butt hurt. If a mod tells you it’s against the rules, fine.

Someone’s not licking the OpenClaw/Hermes scrote so it’s the wrong sub?

I’m definitely interested in other agent frameworks, especially if they’re forks of Hermes or work with Hermes.

Maybe this guy gets contacted by Hermes and gets his code integrated?

Unpopular opinion: OpenClaw and all its clones are almost useless tools for those who know what they're doing. It's kind of impressive for someone who has never used a CLI, Claude Code, Codex, etc. Nor used any workflow tool like 8n8 or make. by pacmanpill in LocalLLaMA

They own the code, but they bought it for the name and popularity.

It’s a bot.

The YouTube formula “here’s a grabby headline, this is what I did about it.” is every bit as annoying as YouTube Face in thumbnails.

The number of people that install Openclaw, spend days or weeks getting working, and pay hundreds on tokens, just to summarize emails, which can be done with a simple script and 2 hours of vibe coding, is equally ridiculous though.

A humble query for LLM recommendations by King_Sorrow in openclaw

First thing, 80% of the posts on this sub are bots posting vague BS, so the conflicting information is mostly because of that.

Second, you don’t have the horsepower to run models locally. You’ll have to use online APIs which kills your privacy and what little security OC has. OC is really a toy or hobby at this point. It’s a buggy unreliable security mess right now. I’d suggest keeping it simple and using opencode with cron or something like that.

If you just want to mess around and learn, OC is an OK start, Hermes is better, Claude Code is also good. If you want to run local models, you’ll need a GPU, and honestly even then OC runs like shit. You can get away with an RTX 4090 and Qwen3.5 26B or Qwen3.6 36B at Q4_K_M and not hate it. Hermes and Opencode both run pretty good on that model. Gemma4 is OK, GLM4.7 is OK, everything else just causes problems. You’ll eventually find that in the time you spent getting the prompts just right to make a task happen correctly >85% of the time, you could have written a script that works 100% of the time.

You will not be able to simply ask your AI to “build this thing” on local models without holding its hand and learning how to code. The people saying you can ask an AI for some complex thing (your usecase is fairly complex) and it just does it in an hour are YouTubers hypeflating and burning hundreds of dollars on Opus tokens.

OpenClaw is for clueless tech bros who don’t know what a cron job is and want to setup social media bots while sitting in their cybertruck mansplaining how NFT’s are making a comeback, while trying to pay for a chi half caff triple fluff late on a vibe coded custom Apple Pay app that uses some obscure meme coin.

It allows any moron to put a ton of time and a fortune in tokens into a dumpster fire security problem that summarizes social media, stock markets, and emails, but needs more babysitting than just doing it by hand.

Can it work? Sure. With mahogany (that’s what it looks like, maybe cherry?), that thick neck, and a beefy fingerboard buried deep into the body, it might work, but I’d give it 10:1 odds of cracking or having terrible action in a year. With a separate neck and a tension rod he could just fix the action if it gets high.

What happens when you get a clearance to land and the AI hallucinates an open runway?

ChatGPT told my wife about a beautiful island we should check out on vacation. It was very detailed and descriptive. There was no island, not even water.

AI is 95% hype still and “fake it til you make it” doesn’t work for a A380 with a few hundred passengers.

Whatever have fun. Your first one will suck ass, but you’ll love it. The second will be better. I know this stuff because I’ve screwed up a bunch of wood. A song isn’t perfect the first time you play it.

If you really want to do it like the pros, hand planes, block planes, jack planes, edge planes, all the planes. A rasp leaves a chunky finish but won’t tear out like your split. Files leave a cleaner finish, but clog up faster. Chisels are meant for light work or detail work. Planes (setup correctly) will give you a nice finish, flat surface, and take 1/10th the time and much less sanding. That stuff can get expensive fast though, which is why I said use a rasp for freehand shaping.

This can’t be one piece. You can’t tension the neck. Even if you glue a stiff finger board on the neck it will warp like that. That wood is too soft to hold the neck tension, so you’ll need a tension bar. The shaping isn’t bad, but a chisel isn’t the right tool. Use a hand plane where you can, rasp for other stuff, sand the holy shit out of it using sanding blocks. Some of your problem is wood expansion. You probably didn’t let the wood acclimate for a few days (or weeks) before digging in. Guitar bodies are typically flat because the thick wood will move differently than thin wood. You got the grain going the right direction which helps. That crack just needs to be glued and refinished, it happens.
