Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous agent framework by Nous Research, released in February 2026. It runs locally or on a server, features a closed learning loop with persistent memory and auto-generated skills, executes tasks via terminal, browser, and code, and is reachable across more than 20 messaging platforms. The framework itself is free under the MIT license; optional costs arise from LLM API calls and the Nous Portal subscription.
