Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework by Nous Research, released on February 25, 2026 under the MIT license. It combines persistent memory (MEMORY.md/USER.md across sessions), 40+ built-in tools, and a closed learning loop that automatically generates reusable skill files after successfully completed tasks. The agent supports 20+ LLM providers (including OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama, vLLM) and can be self-hosted or run as a managed service via MyClaw. Hermes Agent is primarily a general-purpose automation agent; for pure coding tasks, specialized tools like Claude Code are rated as more capable.
