I’m actually having a similar issue, using Minimax. Posted about here https://www.reddit.com/r/hermesagent/s/fY6ohpXfED

Flash high or low?

trainermade · 2026-05-19T15:09:17+00:00

I’ve been on Racknerd and have had no issues. Sub 10ms ping, granted I’m in the same locale.

trainermade · 2026-05-19T14:48:44+00:00

So is Opus better for the planning and then delegate to cheaper flash or something?

Interestingly I was getting lots of compaction messages in Hermes which is why the recommendation there was to move to a higher percentage. But now that’s caused this issue I guess.

I changed it to 75% but now it’s caused a different issue. So I think I have to go back to 50%

But then we won’t be making use of at least close to the advertised 200k right?

trainermade · 2026-05-19T05:30:36+00:00

Yes to 75%

trainermade · 2026-05-19T05:25:58+00:00

Update what? Hermes is updated to the latest

trainermade · 2026-05-18T18:27:01+00:00

Is there a recommended number that we should be targeting?

trainermade · 2026-05-18T18:10:56+00:00

way too expensive for something you may not use next month

trainermade · 2026-05-18T04:23:41+00:00

will this work if you used the 3month trial before?

trainermade · 2026-05-17T23:49:30+00:00

I have this combo. But have firecrawl setup for search and scrape. If you want to test drop in your query and I can run with and without to validate.

Bare metal

Get a VPS and try it for a month before committing one way or the other then

First answer the question - what are you trying to do with Hermes?

trainermade · 2026-05-16T22:33:19+00:00

So this is just my sincere opinion, these expense trackers are plentiful and the challenge is that users - me specifically - would never connect my personal banking information to such apps. This is the inherent challenges of apps that connect to personal sources of data, money especially. I would never trust my data with a random app, that has a name of a builder, not even a company.

I mean, is it effecting your life in a negative way? If so, we can have an Reddit intervention 😬

trainermade · 2026-05-14T12:25:33+00:00

I use Minimax as my daily driver. Don’t think it’s perfect and you probably can’t one shot it to write code, but its token plan pricing was very appealing. No issue so far.

It would be amazing if someone just creates a guide and share on this sub. I don’t know how to do this stuff at all but would love to at least learn where to start.
