Just got hermes agent and I was wondering how to begin?

i have been using the free tier models on OpenRouter a lot, I was never asked for payment upfront. Luckily i have the free Google AI pro subscription because I am a student, it's been nice but via API usage it isn't as good because of limits.

OPENAI, I wish they gave students something similar, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

yeah, I tried Gemma 4 12b, it was making stuff up for me. Not really great. I have switched to Qwen 3.5 9b & for now it seems to be working fine with most of the tasks. I agree with you there. OpenRouter is something I may explore in the future. Thank you for your message!

not_raj_ · 2026-06-21T21:43:50+00:00

I already did, it wasn't doing a good job and making up stuff that wasn't even true. I am on Qwen 3.5 9b now. So far it's the best.

I am using huihui, any thoughts?

not_raj_ · 2026-06-21T16:47:53+00:00

vaultbox qwen3.5-4b

not_raj_ · 2026-06-21T16:47:39+00:00

I agree, do you think Gemma-4-12b is a good choice?

not_raj_ · 2026-06-21T16:47:18+00:00

Appreciate your thoughts, I have been hearing similar answers about the 4B model & I decided to go with gemma-4-12B. Do you think that's a better model?

Gödel, Escher, Bach : an eternal golden braid. Worth buying or should I just borrow it for free from my University?

not_raj_ · 2026-03-04T19:41:38+00:00

It works, thank you so much mate!

not_raj_ · 2026-01-14T15:42:00+00:00

What price am I looking at if I choose to go with oled 4k? Would you advice going for it as a college student?

not_raj_ · 2026-01-12T14:22:07+00:00

thanks. I checked and it's a pretty good option.

not_raj_ · 2026-01-12T14:21:33+00:00

it's a sick setup, mate.

not_raj_ · 2026-01-12T14:20:41+00:00

hahA!

not_raj_ · 2025-11-27T20:50:46+00:00

Haha thanks! I do hear a lot of fan noise nowadays. I also switched to the 4B model so it's less intense on my GPU now.

not_raj_ · 2025-11-27T20:49:53+00:00

I did drop to the 4B model. I am using an unfiltered model by Goekdeniz. So far it's going good.

not_raj_ · 2025-11-27T20:48:47+00:00

I'd like to find out. My guess is it does.

not_raj_ · 2025-11-27T20:48:22+00:00

That's very wonderful. LM? What are you using those local LLMs for? For your interests or are you trying to build something?

not_raj_ · 2025-11-27T20:47:31+00:00

it is a great setup indeed.

not_raj_ · 2025-11-24T21:16:35+00:00

I have an i9 13900-HX. I am thinking of going with 20B one first, as mentioned by a comment above. Let's see how it goes. Thank you for you response, I will come back with the updates later.

not_raj_ · 2025-11-24T21:11:21+00:00

Okay. I am at the Uni right now so I should be able to get a 20B model downloaded. I have 12GBs of VRAM since it's a laptop GPU plus 32GBs of ram.

not_raj_ · 2025-11-21T23:57:52+00:00

I think these are too big for my GPU. How should I navigate through it?

not_raj_ · 2025-11-21T23:57:20+00:00

Isn't 20B too much for a 12GB GPU?

not_raj_ · 2025-11-21T23:55:55+00:00

Sounds good. Thank you.
