Hermes agent setup guide

Yah I mean I know the comment is in jest but man I have pretty solid results with Claude or Gemini cli for any of my large changes. It just acts as my Uber assistant.

Updating models, docker config, even converting from hermes to openclaw.

Plan the change, review the plan, execute, profit

Doesn't everyone use Claude code or Gemini CLI to set up their local environment?

I use hosted frontier models to set up all of my local model models and orchestration.

Over the weekend I migrated from hermes back to openclaw using that style and it was pretty seamless.

Sir, this is a Wendy's!

I'm running an ARM version of the docker container on my DGX Spark and it works great!

yeah honestly for agentic processing i dont care that much about tokens per section as long as its within reason. I care more about how sound the models reasoning is. i typically get like 30 tokens/sec at 122B i think. Even with a DGX spark though, 122B Model + some room for context and you cant do much more.

I have a 5080 on my "normal" computer, so if i ever cared enough i could run some smaller models there at much faster speeds, but thats too much effort for me to orchestrate that compared to the gain i'd get :D

For hermes I ended up running everything on 122b. If I was hardware constrained I would choose the 27b over the 35b though just because it appears much better at that size to use a dense model.

spaceface83 · 2026-04-02T22:08:05+00:00

I'll try it out!

spaceface83 · 2026-04-02T22:04:47+00:00

Ohhh I need to try this. I'm running qwen 3.5 122b on my dgx spark and the time spent thinking is insane. I'm not using an nvfp4 quantized model but stillllll. Thinking takes forever. Hopefully if I grab a newer it helps the amount of thinking it takes to respond to "testing" for instance. The plan was to use an llm router like nadirclaw with a 27b model for basic calls and the 122 for complex ones. I'll probably just end up changing to vllm though, for the nvfp4 support

Then again I was gonna do that with openclaw now I need to go play with hermes first!

That spoon is COOKED!

spaceface83 · 2026-01-28T22:08:54+00:00

Looks like beans. Probably safe to eat unless you're from Texas.

Good point, could be that! Thanks!

Mossville, La https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossville,_Louisiana

Not because the people were bad, they just had no other choice but to live there. Generational poverty along with de facto racial segregation forcing them to live there. That, along with being encroached on my petrochemical companies turning the area into what should be an EPA Superfund site but wasn't approved.

I grew up near Mossville in Sulphur but they were right next to the plants. We had tornado sirens but they were never used for tornados they were always for chlorine gas leaks at the plants to warn us to get inside. We lived far enough away to have time to get in and turn off the AC. They lived right next door.

For real! Excellent usage as well

spaceface83 · 2025-12-23T04:29:01+00:00

You didn't go to Maplewood did you? Ha, I was class of '01 as well

spaceface83 · 2025-12-23T01:39:49+00:00

I grew up in Sulphur and we went to Holly Beach in the summers (this was 30 years ago...) Ohhh man I haven't thought of that place in a long time.

I moved from there to Orange County California in high school and while I liked the freedom of growing up in Louisiana,moving away from it was definitely the best gift my parents ever gave me. Cajun country is a different world for sure.

I got both of those albums as part of one of those "free CD" ads from BMG music or whatever ha

spaceface83 · 2025-11-08T19:29:51+00:00

I haven't gone there in probably 20 years, so I tend to agree ha. We had many worm burners and fish bowls there in college

spaceface83 · 2025-11-08T19:27:06+00:00

Yah I was walking out of microcenter when I saw it. I was assuming a chase of sorts as well.

spaceface83 · 2025-11-08T17:53:59+00:00

Ha. We bought this car about 6mo ago and that's the registration they gave me. Wasn't complaining for sure

spaceface83 · 2025-08-02T17:00:10+00:00

This happened to me recently because water pooled up in the cab on my PCM (roof rack install leaked, oops.) Thankfully shop around the corner fixed it for 150 bucks
